After a succinct review of the MOND paradigm--with its phenomenology, and its various underlying theories--I concentrate on so called modified inertia (MI) formulations of MOND, which have so far received only little attention. These share…
We begin to investigate the question of what modifications in energy-momentum tensor can yield correct MOND regime. As a starting study, we refrain from insisting on an action principle and focus exclusively on the equations of motion. The…
An important and useful relation is known to hold in two specific MOND theories. It pertains to low-acceleration, isolated systems of pointlike masses, m_p, at positions r_p, subject to gravitational forces F_p. It reads sum_p…
We show that treating gravitation as a thermodynamical theory leads to the modified Newton dynamics (MOND) equations if one takes into account the Hubble's expansion. Then the universal MOND acceleration a0 is exactly twice the product of…
We explore the possibility that Milgrom's Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) is a manifestation of the modification of inertia at small accelerations. Consistent with the Tully-Fisher relation, dynamics in the small acceleration domain may…
The observed matter in the universe accounts for just 5 percent of the observed gravity. A possible explanation is that Newton's and Einstein's theories of gravity fail where gravity is either weak or enhanced. The modified theory of…
MOND is a phenomenological modification of Newton's law of gravitation which reproduces the dynamics of galaxies, without the need for additional dark matter. This paper reviews the basics of MOND and its application to dwarf galaxies. MOND…
Numerous astrophysical observations have shown that classical Newtonian dynamics fails on galactic scales and beyond, if only visible matter is taken into account. The two most popular theoretical concepts dealing with this problem are Dark…
Milgrom has proposed that the appearance of discrepancies between the Newtonian dynamical mass and the directly observable mass in astronomical systems could be due to a breakdown of Newtonian dynamics in the limit of low accelerations…
We investigate particle laws of motion derived from nonstandard kinetic actions of a special form. We are guided by a phenomenological scheme--the modified dynamics (MOND)--that imputes the mass discrepancy observed in galactic systems to a…
There exists several modified gravity theories designed to reproduce the empirical Milgrom's formula (MOND). Here we derive analytical results in the context of the static weak-field limit of two of them (BIMOND, leading for a given set of…
A general account of MOND theory is given. I start with the basic tenets of MOND, which posit departure from standard dynamics in the limit of low acceleration -- below an acceleration constant a0 -- where dynamics become scale invariant. I…
Modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND), which postulates a breakdown of Newton's laws of gravity/dynamics below some critical acceleration threshold, can explain many otherwise puzzling observational phenomena on galactic scales. MOND competes…
In this paper, we examine the possibility to implement some form of emergent Newtonian gravity in a generic multi-component Bose--Einstein condensate. Parallely to what happens for the emergence of low energy Lorentz invariance, strong…
Monge-Ampere gravitation is a nonlinear modification of classical Newtonian gravitation, when the Monge-Ampere equation substitutes for the Poisson equation. We establish, through two applications of the large deviation principle, that the…
It was recently proposed that the effects usually attributed to particle dark matter on galaxy scales are due to the displacement of dark energy by baryonic matter, a paradigm known as emergent gravity. This formalism leads to predictions…
In a recent series of papers, the authors introduced a new Relativistic Newtonian Dynamics (RND) and tested its validity by the accurate prediction of the gravitational time dilation, the anomalous precession of Mercury, the periastron…
I discuss a novel MOND effect that entails a correction to the dynamics of isolated mass systems even when they are deep in the Newtonian regime: systems whose extent R<<Rm, where Rm=sqrt(GM/a0) is the MOND radius, and M the total mass.…
Gravitational potentials in the cosmos are deeper than expected from observed visible objects, a phenomenon usually attributed to dark matter, presumably in the form of a new fundamental particle. Until such a particle is observed, the jury…
We propose a local Lagrangian for a point particle where its inertia part is modified in the regime of small accelerations. For the standard gravitational central force, it recovers the deep MOdified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) (accelerations…
