In addition, the low-background environment of electron-positron collisions along with the large expected sample size and an hermetic detector make Belle II the premier experiment for studying tau-lepton physics. This talk presents recent world-leading physics results from Belle II searches for dark Z’ decays; as well as for long-lived (pseudo) scalars in B decays. Results from Belle II determinations of the tau lepton mass and from searches lepton-flavor-violating τ decays to a lepton and an invisible boson are presented. 000003721 8560_ $$fdjaffe@bnl.gov 000003721 8564_ $$uhttps://docs.belle2.org/record/3721/files/BELLE2-TALK-CONF-2023-094.pdf
