On the anomalous t-quark charge asymmetry and noncontractibility of the physical space
Heavy flavour production at hadron colliders represents a very promising
field to test perturbative QCD. The integrated forward-backward asymmetry of
the top-antitop quark production is particularly sensitive to any deviation
from the standard QCD calculations. The two Tevatron collaborations, CDF and
D0, reported a much larger t-quark charge asymmetry than predicted by the
theory. We show that the QCD in noncontractible space, where the minimal
distance is fixed by weak interactions, enhances the asymmetry by more than a
factor of 3 (5) at the parton level in leading order of the coupling for the
Tevatron (LHC) center of mass energies. This result should not be a surprise
since the asymmetry observable directly explores the far ultraviolet sector of
the spacelike domain of the Minkowski spacetime.Comment: 11 pages, 1 figure, 2 tables, 13 references; v2: eq. numbers added;

On binary pulsars and the force of gravity
The energy-momentum budget of the astrophysical systems can be studied by the
exact local conservation equation derived by Landau and Lifshitz. We show that
a similar equation is valid for the Einstein-Cartan gravity. We reanalyze a
binary pulsar system using the Landau-Lifshitz conservation equation and show
that the orbital period change rate can be completely understood as a curvature
backreaction process. Taking into account the detailed theoretical and
observational research of relativistic binary pulsar systems, especially the
system of Hulse and Taylor, we conclude that general relativity and
astrophysical observations rule out the existence of gravitational radiation.Comment: enlarged version; 9 pages, 19 reference
On chirality of the vorticity of the Universe
We study chirality of the vorticity of the Universe within the
Einstein-Cartan cosmology. The role of the spin of fermion species during the
evolution of the Universe is studied by averaged spin densities and
Einstein-Cartan equations. It is shown that spin density of the light Majorana
neutrinos acts as a seed for vorticity at early stages of the evolution of the
Universe. Its chirality can be evaluated in the vicinity of the spacelike
infinity. It turns out that vorticity of the Universe has right-handed
chirality.Comment: 7 pages; new estimates, clarifications and references added;
