Semileptonic decays of the bottom-charm hadrons
We present the results of a study of the semileptonic decays of the $B_c$-meson and the lowest lying doubly heavy baryons using the relativistic quark model. We do not employ a heavy quark mass expansion but keep the masses of the heavy quarks and hadronss finite. We calculate all relevant form factors and decay rates.

Multiquark states in the covariant quark confinement model
This talk reviews the last applications of the covariant quark model for studying the properties of the multiquark states: B_s-meson (quark-antiquark state), light baryons (three-quark states) and tetraquark (four-quark state). The form factors of the B(B_s)-> P(V)-transitions are evaluated in the full kinematical region of momentum transfer squared. The widths of some B_s-nonleptonic decays are calculated. The static properties of the proton and neutron, and the \Lambda-hyperon (magnetic moments and charge radii) and the behavior of the nucleon form factors at low momentum transfers are described. The consequences of treating the X(3872) meson as a tetraquark bound state are explored. The decay widths of the observed channels X->J/\psi+2\pi (3\pi) and X-> \bar D^0 + D^0+\pi^0 via the intermediate off--shell states X-> J/\psi+\rho(\omega) and X-> \bar D + D^* are calculated. Its one-photon decay X-> \gamma+ J/\psi is also analyzed.

LEPTONIC AND SEMILEPTONIC DECAYS OF PSEUDOSCALAR MESONS
Abstract We employ the relativistic constituent quark model to give a unified description of the leptonic and semileptonic decays of pseudoscalar mesons ( π , K , D , D s , B , B s ). The calculated leptonic decay constants and form factors are found to be in good agreement with available experimental data and other approaches. We reproduce the results of spin-flavor symmetry in the heavy quark limit.

The Box anomaly and radiative decays of eta(eta-prime) mesons
We report on a confined quark model calculation of the transition form factors for the radiative decays of \eta(\eta')->\gamma l^+l^- and \eta(\eta')->\gamma\pi^+\pi^-. The \eta-\eta' mixing angle \theta_P is determined from the set of data on the electromagnetic \eta(\eta') decays. It is found that \theta_P\sim -16.5. The analysis of the dipionic mass distribution in the decay \eta'->\gamma\pi^+\pi^- confirms the existence of a non-resonant contribution which is the box anomaly.

Another origin of cosmological redshifts
If gravitons are super-strong interacting particles which fulfill a flat non-expanding universe, we would have another possibility to explain cosmological redshifts - in a frame of non-kinematic model. It is shown by the author that in this case SNe 1a data may be understood without any dark energy and dark matter. A value of relaxation factor is found in this paper. In this approach, we have Newton's law of gravity as a simplest consequence, and the connection between Newton's and Hubble's constants. A value of the latter may be theoretically predicted.

Testing Lorentz invariance of dark matter
We study the possibility to constrain deviations from Lorentz invariance in dark matter (DM) with cosmological observations. Breaking of Lorentz invariance generically introduces new light gravitational degrees of freedom, which we represent through a dynamical timelike vector field. If DM does not obey Lorentz invariance, it couples to this vector field. We find that this coupling affects the inertial mass of small DM halos which no longer satisfy the equivalence principle. For large enough lumps of DM we identify a (chameleon) mechanism that restores the inertial mass to its standard value. As a consequence, the dynamics of gravitational clustering are modified. Two prominent effects are a scale dependent enhancement in the growth of large scale structure and a scale dependent bias between DM and baryon density perturbations. The comparison with the measured linear matter power spectrum in principle allows to bound the departure from Lorentz invariance of DM at the per cent level.

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 $94.576 km \cdot s^{-1} \cdot Mpc^{-1}$).

Discrete Symmetries Underlying Some Continuous Ones: Two Examples From Gravity And Particle Physics
Two examples, not connected at present, from author's papers (Nuovo Cim., 1992, v.105A, p.77 [hep-th/0207210] and GRG, 1999, v.31, p.1431 [gr-qc/0207017]) are considered here in which a physical model has discrete symmetries and additional non-observable coordinates or parameters. Then it is possible to introduce some apparent continuous symmetries of the model for an observer which cannot know values of these additional quantities.

STABLE SUPER-INFLATING COSMOLOGICAL SOLUTIONS IN f(R)-GRAVITY
We consider super-inflating solutions in modified gravity for several popular families of f(R) functions. Using scalar field reformulation of f(R)-gravity we describe how the form of effective scalar field potential can be used for explaining existence of stable super-inflation solutions in the theory under consideration. Several new solutions of this type have been found analytically and checked numerically.
