Problems proposed by the present authors for studies at c-τ, b, super-c-τ, and super-b factories are formulated. First, a comparison of the mechanisms of light-scalar-meson production in the process D{sub s}{sup +}→ss̄e{sup +}ν→[σ(600)+f{sub 0}(980)]e{sup +}ν→π{sup +}π{sup −}e{sup +}ν with the mechanisms of light-pseudoscalar-meson production in the process D{sub s}{sup +}→ss̄e{sup +}ν→(η/η{sup ′})e{sup +}ν reveals that the transition ss̄→σ(600) is negligible in relation to the transition ss̄→f{sub 0}(980). As for f{sub 0}(980), ss̄→f{sub 0}(980) is not more than 30% of ss̄→η{sub s}(η{sub s}=ss̄). It is proposed to study light scalar mesons in the semileptonic decays of D{sup +}(D{sup −}) D{sup 0}(D̄{sup 0}), B{sup +}(B{sup −}), and B{sup 0}(B̄{sup 0}). Second, interference phenomena observed in the ψ(3770)-resonance region in the reaction e{sup +}e{sup −}→DD̄ are described on the basis of models satisfying the elastic-unitarity requirement. As a model, we propose the model of mixed ψ(3770) and ψ(2S) resonances. In order to select theoretical models, it is proposed to employ non-DD̄ decay channels such as e{sup +}e{sup −} → ψ(3770) → γχ{sub c0}, J/ψη, and ϕη. Third, branching ratios are calculated for ψ(3770) and ϒ(10580) decays proceeding to light (non-DD̄ and non-BB̄) hadrons owing to the contributions of real DD̄ and BB̄ intermediate states. The predictions obtained for these branching ratios lie in the range of 1% ≲ BR ≲ 15%. The lower boundary of this range is ten times higher than the branching ratio for annihilation to three gluons.
