Galaxy number counts in a presence of the graviton background
In the model of low-energy quantum gravity by the author, cosmological redshifts are caused by interactions of photons with gravitons. Non-forehead collisions with gravitons will lead to an additional relaxation of any photonic flux. Using only the luminosity distance and a geometrical one as functions of a redshift in this model, theoretical predictions for galaxy number counts are considered here. The Schechter luminosity function with $\alpha =-2.43$ is used. The considered model provides a good fit to galaxy observations by Yasuda et al. (AJ, 122 (2001) 1104) if the same K-corrections are added. It is shown that observations of $N(z)$ for different magnitudes $m$ are a lot more informative than the ones of $N(m).$

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.

Model of graviton-dusty universe
Primary features of a new cosmological model, which is based on conjectures about an existence of the graviton background and superstrong gravitational quantum interaction, are considered. An expansion of the universe is impossible in such the model because of deceleration of massive objects by the graviton background, which is similar to the one for the NASA deep space probes Pioneer 10, 11. Redshifts of remote objects are caused in the model by interaction of photons with the graviton background, and the Hubble constant depends on an intensity of interaction and an equivalent temperature of the graviton background. Virtual massive gravitons would be dark matter particles. They transfer energy, lost by luminous matter radiation, which in a final stage may be collected with black holes and other massive objects.

A Fine quantum mechanism of classical gravity
It is shown that screening the background of super-strong interacting gravitons ensures the Newtonian attraction, if a part of single gravitons is pairing and graviton pairs are destructed by collisions with a body. If the considered quantum mechanism of classical gravity is realized in the nature, than an existence of black holes contradicts to the equivalence principle. In such the model, Newton's constant is proportional to $H^{2}/T^{4},$ where $H$ is the Hubble constant, $T$ is an equivalent temperature of the graviton background. The estimate of the Hubble constant is obtained for the Newtonian limit: $H=3.026 \cdot 10^{-18} s^{-1}$ (or $94.576 km \cdot s^{-1} \cdot Mpc^{-1}$).

Integrating out strange quarks in ChPT: Terms at order p6
Abstract Chiral perturbation theory in the two-flavour sector allows one to analyse Green functions in qcd in a limit where the strange quark mass is considered to be large in comparison to the external momenta and to the light quark masses m u and m d . In this framework, the low-energy constants of SU ( 2 ) R × SU ( 2 ) L depend on the value of the heavy quark masses. In a recent article, we have worked out, for the coupling constants l i which occur at order p 4 in the chiral expansion, the dependence on the strange quark mass at two-loop accuracy. Here, we provide analogous relations for some of the couplings c i which are relevant at order p 6 . To keep the calculations somewhat reasonable in size, we consider only those 28 couplings which enter the Green functions built from vector and axial vector quark currents in the chiral limit m u = m d = 0 , m s ≠ 0 . This provides the matching for 27 linear combinations of the 28 couplings.

Radiative decays of double heavy baryons in a relativistic constituent three-quark model including hyperfine mixing effects
We study flavor-conserving radiative decays of double-heavy baryons using a manifestly Lorentz covariant constituent three-quark model. Decay rates are calculated and compared to each other in the full theory, keeping masses finite, and also in the heavy quark limit. We discuss in some detail hyperfine mixing effects.
