A self-consistent framework of topological amplitude and its SU(N) decomposition

Overview
A
bstract
We propose a systematic theoretical framework for the topological amplitudes of the heavy meson decays and their SU(
N
) decomposition. In the framework, the topologies are expressed in invariant tensors and classified into tree- and penguin-operator-induced diagrams according to which four-quark operators, tree or penguin, being inserted into their effective weak vertexes. The number of possible topologies contributing to one type of decay can be counted by permutations and combinations. The Wigner-Eckhart theorem ensures the topological amplitudes under flavor symmetry are the same for different decay channels. By decomposing the four-quark operators into irreducible representations of SU(
N
) group, one can get the SU(
N
) irreducible amplitudes. Taking the
D → PP
decay (
P
denoting a pseudoscalar meson) with SU(3)
F
symmetry as an example, we present our framework in detail. The linear correlation of topologies in the SU(3)
F
limit is clarified in group theory. It is found there are only nine independent topologies in all tree- and penguin-operator-induced diagrams contributing to the
D → PP
decays in the Standard Model. If a large quark-loop diagram, named

) breaking effects. The linear SU(3)

breaking and the high order
U
-spin breaking in charm decays are re-investigated in our framework, which are consistent with literature. Analogous to the degeneracy and splitting of energy levels, we propose the concepts of degeneracy and splitting of topologies to describe the flavor symmetry breaking effects in decay. As applications, we analyze the strange-less
