Brownian motion approach to anomalous rotation of galaxies

Abstract

It has been shown that the weak-interacting limit of the metric-skew-tensor-gravity (MSTG) can explain the anomalous rotation of galaxies without non-baryonic dark matter. We show that MSTG is related to the equilibrium-state of ordinary Brownian motion. We also explore if other stochastic processes can model anomalous rotation. Furthermore, we analyze phase-diagrams that elucidate the condensation of a gravitating cloud towards a Kepler-Newton system and illustrate regions of existence of rotating objects.
