Abstract: (Springer)
The collection of a few anomalies in semileptonic B-decays invites to speculate about the emergence of some strikingly new phenomena. Here we offer a possible interpretation of these anomalies in the context of a weakly broken U(2)5U(2)^5 flavor symmetry and leptoquark mediators.
