Can particles with strength-dependent masses form dark matter of galaxies?

TL;DR

This paper proposes that particles with masses dependent on gravitational field strength could account for the majority of galactic dark matter, offering a novel perspective on dark matter composition.

Contribution

It introduces the idea that particle masses varying with gravitational strength can explain galactic dark matter without new particles.

Findings

Particles may be heavier in galactic regions than near Earth.

Mass-dependent particles could constitute the main component of dark matter.

The hypothesis provides a new approach to understanding dark matter distribution.

Abstract

The basic idea in this Letter is the assumption that masses of the galactic constituents (particles of short-living fluctuations) may be functions of strength of the gravitational field. They may be in galactic space heavier than in the neighborhood of the earth. In the favorable case the total contribution of these constituents can be large enough to form the main part of the galactic dark matter.
