Spin gravity: a non-Abelian gauge theory on a flat spacetime

In this paper, I show that a Yang-Mills force with a U(1)$\timesSU(2)\times$SU(2) group symmetry predicts solar system observations of gravitational behavior as well as binary pulsar precession provided that mass is redefined as intrinsic static pressure and all stress-energy-momentum tensors are, thus, traceless. Using a homogeneous, isotropic universe model, I show that this theory explains the accelerating expansion of the universe directly from group symmetry with no ad hoc constants and predicts that antimatter and matter gravitationally repel one another (antimatter "falls" up). In addition, because it is a generic massless Yang-Mills theory, it is a renormalizable quantum theory.

Negative specific heat for quasi-2D vortex structures in electron plasmas: an explicit, closed-form derivation

Negative specific heat is a dramatic phenomenon where processes decrease in temperature when adding energy. It has been observed in gravo-thermal collapse of globular clusters. We now report finding this phenomenon in bundles of nearly parallel, periodic, single-sign generalized vortex filaments in the electron magnetohydrodynamic (EMH) model for the unbounded plane under strong magnetic confinement. We derive the specific heat using a steepest descent method and a mean field property. Our derivations show that as temperature increases, the overall size of the system increases exponentially and the energy drops. The implication of negative specific heat is a runaway reaction, resulting in a collapsing inner core surrounded by an expanding halo of filaments.
