Abstract

A modified gravitational theory is developed in which the gravitational coupling constants GG and QQ and the effective mass mϕm_\phi of a repulsive vector field run with momentum scale kk or length scale =1/k\ell =1/k, according to a renormalization group flow. The theory can explain cosmological early universe data with a dark hidden photon and late time galaxy and cluster dynamics without dark matter. The theory agrees with solar system and binary pulsar observations.
