Relativistic many-body theory is applied to determine amplitudes for 4p→ 4s, 4p→ 3d, and 3d→ 4s transitions in Ca+; 5p→ 5s, 5p→ 4d, and 4d→ 5s transitions in Sr+; and 6p→ 6s, 6p→ 5d, and 5d→ 6s transitions in Ba+. The calculations, which are carried out through third order in perturbation theory, give lifetimes for excited p states that agree with measured values to better than 10%. The agreement improves to the 2% level after semiempirical corrections are included. The lifetimes predicted for the metastable 4 d 3/2 and 4 d 5/2 states in Sr+ and for the 5 d 3/2 state in Ba+ also agree well with measurement, but the theoretical lifetime of the 5 d 3/2 state in Ba+ is a factor of 4 larger than the measured lifetime.
