We develop a unified description of dense fermionic matter that consistently incorporates Pauli degeneracy, interaction effects, and pairing correlations. The condition that the temperature is much smaller than the Fermi energy leads to a…
Theoretical models of self-interacting dark matter represent a promising answer to a series of open problems within the so-called collisionless cold dark matter (CCDM) paradigm. In case of asymmetric dark matter, self-interactions might…

Neutron stars are the densest known objects in the universe and an ideal laboratory for the strange physics of super-condensed matter. Theoretical studies in connection with recent observational data of isolated neutron stars, as well as…
Since there are dark matter particles (neutrino) with mass about 10^(-1)eV in the universe, the superstructures with a scale of 10^(19) solar mass [large number A is about 10^(19)] appeared around the era of the hydrogen recombination. The…

The realistic models of neutron stars are considered for simple $R+\alpha R^2$ gravity and equivalent Brance-Dicke theory with dilaton field in Einsein frame. For negative values of $\alpha$ we have no acceptable results from astrophysical…
Due to $e^+e^-$-pair production in the field of supercritical $(Z \gg Z_{cr}\approx 170 $) nucleus an electron shell, created out of the vacuum, is formed. The distribution of the vacuum charge in this shell has been determined for…
Recent experimental data and progress in nuclear structure modeling have lead to improved descriptions of astrophysically important weak-interaction processes. The review discusses these advances and their applications to hydrostatic solar…

Cold gas experiments can be tuned to achieve strongly-interacting regimes such as that of low-density neutron matter found in neutron-stars' crusts. We report $T$=0 diffusion Monte Carlo results (i) for the ground state of both spin-1/2…

Ground state energies and superfluid gaps are calculated for degenerate Fermi systems interacting via long attractive scattering lengths such as cold atomic gases, neutron and nuclear matter. In the intermediate region of densities, where…
It is shown by the author that if gravitons are super-strong interacting particles and the low-temperature graviton background exists, the basic cosmological conjecture about the Dopplerian nature of redshifts may be false. In this case, a…
In the framework of the Thomas-Fermi model at finite temperature, we show that a cooling nondegenerate gas of massive neutrinos will undergo a phase transition in which quasi-degenerate supermassive neutrino stars are formed through…
In the weak field approximation, the nonsymmetric gravitational theory has, in addition to the Newtonian gravitational potential, a Yukawa potential produced by the exchange of a spin $1^+$ boson between fermions. If the range $r_0$ is of…
We calculate the force that pins vortices in the neutron superfluid to nuclei in the inner crust of rotating neutron stars, relying on a detailed microscopic description of both the vortex radial profile and the inner crust nuclear…
The structure of neutron stars is considered from theoretical and observational perspectives. We demonstrate an important aspect of neutron star structure: the neutron star radius is primarily determined by the behavior of the pressure of…
Questioning the experimental basis of continuous descriptions of fundamental interactions we discuss classical gravity as an effective continuous first-order approximation of a discrete interaction. The sub-dominant contributions produce a…
