Description
We calculate the forward-backward asymmetries of heavy fermions and of leptons from their semileptonic decay in e+e- annihilation. In particular we study the corrections to the lowest-order prediction resulting from initial-state radiation, kinematic effects in heavy quark decay and the role of quark polarization. (orig.)
