Non-Dopplerian cosmological redshift parameters in a model of graviton-dusty universe
Possible effects, which could be caused by a hypothetical super-strong interaction of photons or massive bodies with single gravitons of the graviton background, are considered. If full cosmological redshift magnitudes are caused by the interaction, then the luminosity distance in a flat non-expanding universe as a function of redshift is very similar to the specific function which fits supernova cosmology data by Riess et al (1998 Astron. J. 116 1009). From another side, in this case every massive body, moving slowly relative to the background, would experience a constant acceleration, proportional to the Hubble constant, of the same order as a small additional acceleration of Pioneer 10, 11.

A quantum gravitational model of redshifts
The main features of an alternative model of redshifts are described here. The model is based on conjectures about an existence of the graviton background with the Planckian spectrum and a super-strong character of quantum gravitational interaction. This model is connected with the assumed quantum mechanism of gravity. A behavior of two theoretical functions of a redshift $z$ in this model - the geometrical distance $r(z)$ and the luminosity distance $D_{L}(z)$ - and an existence of two different cosmological horizons for any observer are discussed.

May gravitons be super-strong interacting particles?
A scheme, in which gravitons are super-strong interacting, is described. The graviton background with the Planckian spectrum and a small effective temperature is considered as a reservoir of gravitons. A cross-section of interaction of a graviton with any particle is assumed to be a bilinear function of its energies. Any pair of bodies are attracting not due to an exchange with its own gravitons, but due to a pressure of external gravitons of this background. A graviton pairing is necessary to obtain classical gravity. Any divergencies are not possible in such the model because of natural smooth cut-offs of the graviton spectrum from both sides. Some cosmological consequences of this scheme are discussed, too. Also it is shown here that the main conjecture of this approach may be verified at present on the Earth.

A few remarks about the Pioneer anomaly
Some features of the Pioneer anomaly are discussed in context of author’s explanation of this effect as a deceleration of the probes in the graviton background. It is noted that if the model is true then the best parameter of the anomalous acceleration should be not the distance to the Sun but a cosine of the angle between a velocity of the probe and its radius-vector.

Low‐Energy Quantum Gravity Leads to Another Picture of the Universe
If gravitons are super‐strong interacting particles and the low‐temperature graviton background exists, the basic cosmological conjecture about the Dopplerian nature of redshifts may be false: the full magnitude of the cosmological redshift would be caused by interactions of photons with gravitons. Non‐head‐on collisions with gravitons will lead to a very specific additional relaxation of any photonic flux and gives the possibility of another interpretation of supernovae 1a data — without any kinematics. These facts may implicate a necessity to change the standard cosmological paradigm. Some features of a new paradigm are discussed. In the frame of this model, every observer has two different cosmological horizons. One of them is defined by maximum existing temperatures of remote sources — by big enough distances, all of them will be masked with the CMB radiation. Another, and much smaller one, depends on their maximum luminosity — the luminosity distance increases with a redshift much quickly than the ge...

Cosmological dynamics of fourth-order gravity with a Gauss-Bonnet term
We consider the cosmological dynamics of fourth-order gravity with both f(R) and Φ(G) corrections to the Einstein gravity (G is the Gauss-Bonnet invariant). The particular case for which both terms are equally important on power-law solutions is described. These solutions and their stability are studied using the dynamic system approach. We also discuss the condition of existence and stability of a de Sitter solution in a more general situation of power-law f and Φ.

Form factors for semileptonic, nonleptonic and rare B (Bs) meson decays
We provide new values for the model parameters of the covariant constituent quark model (with built–in infrared confinement) in the meson sector by a fit to the leptonic decay constants and a number of electromagnetic decays. We then evaluate, in a parameter-free way, the form factors of the B(Bs) ! P(V ) transitions in the full kinematical region of momentum transfer. As an application of our results we calculate the widths of the nonleptonic Bs-decays into Ds D + , D � s D + s +D s D � + s

Heavy Meson Observables
An accurate and unified description of the non-hadronic electroweak interactions of light- and heavy-mesons is possible when the dressing of quark propagators and the finite size of hadronic bound states is explicitly accounted for.

Relativistic constituent quark model with infrared confinement
We refine the relativistic constituent quark model developed in our previous papers to include the confinement of quarks. It is done, first, by introducing the scale integration in the space of {alpha} parameters, and, second, by cutting this scale integration on the upper limit which corresponds to an infrared cutoff. In this manner one removes all possible thresholds present in the initial quark diagram. The cutoff parameter is taken to be the same for all physical processes. We adjust other model parameters by fitting the calculated quantities of the basic physical processes to available experimental data. As an application, we calculate the electromagnetic form factors of the pion and the transition form factors of the {omega} and {eta} Dalitz decays.
