Abstract
We study the influence of non-valence quark-pair contributions in weak transition form factors of heavy-light mesons. Form factors are first calculated for spacelike momentum transfers in a reference frame where such contributions are suppressed. Analytic continuation to the timelike region and a comparison with the direct decay calculation, done with pure valence degrees of freedom, provides an estimate of the role that quark-pair contributions may play. We use the point form of relativistic quantum mechanics, which is particularly useful when treating heavy-light systems.
