The missing of a Keplerian fall-off in the observed galaxy rotation curves represents classical evidence for the existence of dark matter on galactic scales. There has been some recent activity concerning the potential of modelling galactic…
We write down the relevant field equations for a stationary axially symmetric rigidly rotating dust source in such a way that the general solution depends upon the solution of an elliptic equation and upon harmonic functions. Starting with…
Irrotational dust solutions of Einstein's equations are suitable models to describe the general-relativistic aspects of the gravitational instability mechanism for the formation of cosmic structures. In this paper we study their state space…
