We present the first complete results for the semileptonic and rare radiative form factors of the B meson’s weak decay into a light vector meson (ρ,ω,K*,φ) in the light-cone sum rule approach. The calculation includes radiative corrections, higher twist corrections, and SU(3) breaking effects. The theoretical uncertainty is investigated in detail. A simple parametrization of the form factors is given in terms of three parameters each. We find that the form factors observe several relations inspired by heavy quark symmetry.
