  "abstract": "Some fraction of the diffuse photon background is supposed to be linked to high-energy neutrinos by astrophysical mechanisms of production and electromagnetic cascades. This article presents a simulation study of axion-like particles (ALPs) implications for that component, exploiting transport equations. Alternations of that spectrum due to ALP-photon conversion in the intergalactic magnetic field (IGMF) in the cases of various ALP parameters and mixing regimes at sources are studied. The results indicate considerable influence of IGMF-conversion on the ALP-photon flux even in the case of inverse ALP-photon coupling constant $M$ equal to $10^{11.5}$ GeV and some residual effects in the case of $M=10^{12}$ GeV. Furthermore, the scenario shows another aspect of a complex multimessenger interplay between IceCube and Fermi data, to a certain extent relieving the tension between them.",
