The exclusive FCNC beauty semileptonic decay B-> ρis studied using Ward identities in a general vector meson dominance framework, predicting vector meson couplings involved. The long distance contributions are discussed which results to obtain form factors and |V_ub|. A detailed comparison is given with other approaches.
The form factors for the $B-->π$ transition are evaluated in the entire momentum transfer range by using the constraints obtained in the framework combining the heavy quark expansion and chiral symmetry for light quarks and the quark model. In particular, we calculate the valence quark contributions and show that it together with the equal time commutator contribution simulate a B-meson pole q^2-dependence of form factors in addition to the usual vector meson B^{*}-pole diagram for $B --> πlν$ in the above framework. We discuss the predictions in our model, which provide an estimate of |V_{ub}|^2.
