We show how, based on considerations on the observed form of the galaxy 2-point spatial correlation function xi(r), a very simplified -- yet surprisingly effective -- model for the linear density fluctuations power spectrum can be…
Generally, the dynamics of test particles around galaxies, as well as the corresponding mass deficit, is explained by postulating the existence of a hypothetical dark matter. In fact, the behavior of the rotation curves shows the existence…
Motivated by well-known obstacles to quantum gravity, I look for the most general geometrodynamical symmetries compatible with a reduced physical configuration space for metric gravity. I argue that they lead either to a completely static…
I present an alternative explanation of flat rotational curves of galaxies that does not require dark matter but rather relies on classical Newtonian dynamics and an overlooked effect of quantum tunneling. I introduce a rotational drag…
General relativity probably is not the definitive theory of gravity, due a number or issues, both from the theoretical and from the observational point of view. Alternative theories of gravity were conceived to extend general relativity and…
We study the dynamics of a charged particle in the field of a slowly rotating compact star in the gravitoelectromagnetic approximation to the geodesic equation . The star is assumed to be surrounded by an ideal, highly conducting plasma…
The remnants of binary neutron star mergers are expected to be massive, rapidly rotating stars whose oscillations produce gravitational waves in the kilohertz band. The degree of differential rotation and the rotation profiles strongly…
This paper outlines an exact analytic model for self-gravitating thin disc galaxies with flat rotation curves. It is shown that thin discs of matter alone can support perfectly flat rotation curves under Newtonian gravity, without needing…
The paper considers Euler-Poisson equations which govern the steady state of a self gravitating, rotating, axi-symmetric stars under the additional assumption that it is composed of incompressible stratified fluid. The original system of…
We present an analysis of a devised sample of Rotation Curves (RCs), aimed at checking the consequences of a modified f(R) gravity on galactic scales. Originally motivated by the the dark energy mystery, this theory may serve as a…
It was shown long ago by T. V. Ruzmaikina and A. A. Ruzmaikin that within the framework of a homogeneous and isotropic cosmological model quadratic corrections of the gravitational field cannot provide solutions that are both regular…
We obtain an approximate global stationary and axisymmetric solution of Einstein's equations which can be thought as a simple two layers star model: a self-gravitating ball built up by two layers of perfect fluid having different linear…
There are a number of publications on relativistic objects dealing either with black holes or naked singularities in the center. Here we show that there exist static spherically symmetric solutions of Einstein equations with a strongly…
In order to allow the asymptotically flat, we consider Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity theory with a soft violation of the detailed balance condition and obtain various solutions. In particular, we find that such theory coupled to a global…
In this work, we analyse static spherically symmetric solutions in the framework of mimetic gravity, an extension of general relativity where the conformal degree of freedom of gravity is isolated in a covariant fashion. Here we extend…
We briefly review our works for graviton and spherical graviton potentials in a plane-wave matrix model. To compute them, it is necessary to devise a configuration of the graviton solutions, since the plane-wave matrix model includes mass…
We explore the scenario that the observable universe emerged from the vicinity of a negative mass ring singularity, and all content of the universe travels at the same group velocity close to the speed of light on a geodesic trajectory…
A physically realistic stellar model with a simple expression for the energy density and conformally flat interior is found. The relations between the different physical conditions are used without graphic proofs. It may represnet a real…
In asymptotically flat space a rotating black hole cannot be in thermodynamic equilibrium because the thermal radiation would have to be co-rotating faster than light far from the black hole. However in asymptotically anti-de Sitter space…
The log-normal distribution represents the probability of finding randomly distributed particles in a micro canonical ensemble with high entropy. To a first approximation, a modified form of this distribution with a truncated termination…
