We analyse the evolution of turbulence and gravitational instability of a galactic disc in a quasi-steady state governed by cosmological inflow. We focus on the possibility that the coupling between the in-streaming gas and the disc is…
We present a simple argument which determines the critical value of the anomaly coefficient in four dimensional conformal factor quantum gravity, at which a phase transition between a smooth and elongated phase should occur. The argument is…
Purely gravitational perturbations are considered in a thin rotating disk composed of several gas and stellar components. The dispersion relation for the axisymmetric density waves propagating through the disk is found and the criterion for…
The gravitational instabilities are important to the evolution of the disks and the planet formation in the disks. We calculate the evolution of the disks which form from the collapse of the molecular cloud cores. By changing the properties…
In previous work (astro-ph/0306228) we have established that a particular quasi-classical theoretical viewpoint about the nature of gravitation in galaxy discs provides extremely high concordance (comparable with MOND) with the observed…
We investigate the bar formation process using $N$-body simulations across the Toomre's parameter $Q_{min}$ and central mass concentration (CMC), focusing principally on the formation timescale. Of importance is that, as suggested by…
The equations describing the adiabatic, small radial oscillations of general relativistic stars are generalized to include the effects of a cosmological constant. The generalized eigenvalue equation for the normal modes is used to study the…
The tachyonic instability is associated with the unboundedness of the Hamiltonian from below and results in an unstable low-$k$ regime. In the cosmological exploration of modified gravity, it is seldom taken into account, with more focus…
We carry out a large set of very high resolution, three dimensional smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations describing the evolution of gravitationally unstable gaseous protoplanetary disks. We consider a broad range of initial…
It is pointed out that MOND defines a fiducial specific angular momentum (SAM) for a galaxy of total (baryonic) mass $\mathcal{M}$: $j_M(\mathcal{M})\equiv\mathcal{M}^{3/4}(G^3/a_0)^{1/4}\approx 383(\mathcal{M}/10^{10}M_\odot)^{3/4}{\rm…
We argue that gravitational instability of typical protostellar disks is not a viable mechanism for the fragmentation into multiple systems -- binary stars, brown dwarf companions, or gas giant planets -- except at periods above roughly…
The Radial Acceleration Relation (RAR) shows a strong correlation between two accelerations associated to galaxy rotation curves. The relation between these accelerations is given by a nonlinear function which depends on an acceleration…
The main subject of this paper is equilibrium problems on an unbounded conductor $\Sigma$ of the complex plane in the presence of a weakly admissible external field. An admissible external field $Q$ on $\Sigma$ satisfies, along with other…
Some quantum-cosmic scaling relations indicate that the MOND acceleration parameter a_0 could be a fundamental quantity ruling the self-gravitating structures, ranging from stars and globular clusters up to superclusters of galaxies and the…
Growth rates for gravitational instabilities in a thick disk of gas and stars are determined for a turbulent gas that dissipates on the local crossing time. The scale heights are derived from vertical equilibrium. The accuracy of the usual…
The secular behavior of an orbit under the gravitational perturbation due to a two-dimensional uniform disk is studied in this paper, through analytical and numerical approaches. We develop the secular approximation of this problem and…

The measured rotation velocity profiles of mature spiral galaxies are successfully described with a gravitational model consisting of a thin axisymmetric disk of finte radius. The disk is assumed uniformly thin but with variable radial mass…
We present the simplest model that permits a largely analytical exploration of the m=1 counter-rotating instability in a "hot" nearly Keplerian disc of collisionless self-gravitating matter. The model consists of a two-component softened…
