Theory of CP Violation in the B-Meson System

Abstract

Recent developments in the theory of CP violation in the B-meson system are reviewed, with focus on the determination of sin(2beta) from B-> J/psi K decays, its implications for tests of the Standard Model and searches for New Physics, and the determination of gamma and alpha from charmless hadronic B decays.
