Dark Matter and Rotation Curves of Stars in Galaxies

TL;DR

This paper applies a 5-dimensional unified field theory to explain galaxy rotation curves, suggesting that dark matter effects can be modeled without invoking unseen matter, aligning with observed flat rotation profiles.

Contribution

It introduces a novel application of a 5D Projective Unified Field Theory to galactic dynamics, providing an alternative explanation for rotation curves without dark matter.

Findings

Rotation curves are approximately flat, consistent with observations.

The theory accounts for the spirality of stellar motion.

Newtonian mechanics deviations explain galaxy rotation profiles.

Abstract

The dark matter accretion theory (around a central body) of the author on the basis of his 5-dimensional Projective Unified Field Theory (PUFT) is applied to the orbital motion of stars around the center of the Galaxy. The departure of the motion from Newtonian mechanics leads to approximately flat rotation curves being in rough accordance with the empirical facts. The spirality of the motion is investigated.
