Heavy-quark symmetries in the light of nonperturbative QCD approaches
We critically review the validity of heavy-quark spin and flavor symmetries in heavy-light decay constants, form factors and effective couplings obtained within a nonperturbative framework, the ingredients of which are all motivated by Dyson-Schwinger equations studies of QCD. Along the way, we make new predictions for two effective nonphysical couplings: g_{DsDK} = 24.1+2.5/-1.6 and g_{BsBK} = 33.3+4.0/-3.7.

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.

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.

The sea of super-strong interacting gravitons as the cause of gravity
The Newtonian attraction turns out to be the main statistical effect in the sea of super-strong interacting gravitons, with bodies themselves being not sources of gravitons - only correlational properties of in and out fluxes of gravitons in their neighbourhood are changed due to an interaction with bodies. Other quantum effects of low-energy quantum gravity are the following ones: redshifts, their analog - a deceleration of massive bodies, and an additional relaxation of any light flux.

Asymptotic freedom in low-energy quantum gravity
It is suggested in the model of low-energy quantum gravity by the author, that the background of super-strong interacting gravitons exists. It is shown here that micro-particles at very small distances should be almost free if the gravitational attraction is caused by a pressure of these gravitons.

SUPER-STRONG INTERACTING GRAVITONS AS A MAIN ENGINE OF THE UNIVERSE WITHOUT EXPANSION OR DARK ENERGY
The basic cosmological conjecture about the Dopplerian nature of redshifts may be false if gravitons are super-strong interacting particles. A quantum mechanism of classical gravity and the main features of a new cosmological paradigm based on it are described here.
