Employing induced representations of the Lorentz group (Wigner's little group construction), formalism for constructing heavy particle effective Lagrangians is developed, and Lagrangian constraints enforcing Lorentz invariance of the S matrix are derived. The relationship between Lorentz invariance and reparameterization invariance is established and it is shown why a standard ansatz for implementing reparameterization invariance in heavy fermion effective Lagrangians breaks down at order 1/M^4. Formalism for fields of arbitrary spin and for self-conjugate fields is presented, and the extension to effective theories of massless fields is discussed.

Radiative Semileptonic Decays of Beautiful Hadrons
Within HQET, radiative semileptonic decay form factors for Lambda(b) to Lambda(c) and B to D(*) transitions are fully determined by non-radiative Isgur-Wise functions and heavy-hadron magnetic dipole moments in soft a...
