Simple laboratory tests of Newton’s second law of motion for masses undergoing small oscillations or accelerations. Computational mathematics using Mathematica. Modified Newtonian mechanics (MOND) applied to laboratory systems. Classical general relativity: closed-timelike-curves (CTCs), and causality violations of Einstein’s field equations. Quantum field theory: higher-order self-energy of neutron star arising from neutrino exchange, Fermi’s golden rule for decay processes near threshold, neutrino masses, many-body theory, time-dependent perturbation theory, finite temperature field theory for chiral interactions, non-perturbative vacuum energy of weak field, higher-order Feynman diagrams, vacuum polarization of weak field, neutrino-exchange forces. Condensed matter physics: energy of neutrino condensate, chiral potentials and neutrino trapping.
