Abstract

The recent experimental results on leptonic $D^+_{(s)}$ decays, semileptonic $D$ decays, determinations of decay constants and form factors, as well as extractions of $|V_{cd}|$ and $|V_{cs}|$ are briefly reviewed. Global analysis of all existing measurements of leptonic $D^+_{(s)}$ decays and semileptonic $D$ decays yields $|V_{cd}|=0.2157\pm 0.0045$ and $|V_{cs}|=0.983\pm 0.011$, which are the most precision determinations of these two CKM matrix elements up to date.
