The cold dark matter paradigm has been posited as the standard explanation for the non-Keplerian behavior of galaxy rotation curves, where for galaxies satisfying the Tully-Fisher relation, the mass of the dark matter halo from a large class of universal dark matter profiles ought to roughly increase linearly with radial distance at large distances, $m(r) sim r/nG$ ($G$ is the gravitational constant and $n$ is a dimensionless parameter which depends on the amount of baryonic matter $M$ within the galaxy). Despite numerous advances in modeling galaxy formation and evolution, a scientific consensus on the origin of the observed dependence of the dimensionless parameter $n = (GMa_{0})^{-1/2}$ on the mass of baryonic matter $M$ within the galaxy (the Tully-Fisher relation), and the connection of the cosmological constant $Lambda$ to the parameter $a_{0} sim (Lambda/3)^{1/2}$ remains elusive. Here, we show that Einstein Field Equations can be remolded into $ abla_{ u}mathcal{K}^{ u}_{,,mu} = 8pi GMPsi^{*}mathcal{D}_{mu}Psi$, where $mathcal{K}_{mu u}$ is a complex Hermitian tensor, $mathcal{D}_{mu}$ is a covariant derivative and $Psi$ is a complex-valued function. This avails a novel constraint, $ abla_{mu} abla_{ u}mathcal{K}^{mu u} = 0$ not necessarily available in Einsteins General Relativity. In the weak-field regime, we can readily reproduce the Tully-Fisher relation using the usual charge-less pressure-less fluid. Moreover, our approach is equivalent to a Ginzburg-Landau theory of $n$ bosons, where the order parameter is normalized as $int_{0}^{1/a_{0}} dr,4pi r^2Psi^*Psi = n$ and $1/a_{0} sim (Lambda/3)^{-1/2}$ is the cut-off length scale comparable to the size of the de Sitter universe. Our investigations provide a framework that reproduces the mass-asymptotic speed relation in galaxies within the cold dark matter paradigm.

We introduce a novel test of General Relativity in the strong-field regime of a binary black hole coalescence. Combining information coming from Numerical Relativity simulations of coalescing black hole binaries with a Bayesian reconstruction of the gravitational wave signal detected in LIGO-Virgo interferometric data, allows one to test theoretical predictions for the instantaneous gravitational wave frequency measured at the peak of the gravitational wave signal amplitude. We present the construction of such a test and apply it on the first gravitational wave event detected by the LIGO and Virgo Collaborations, GW150914. The $p$-value obtained is $p=0.48$, to be contrasted with an expected value of $p=0.5$, so that no signs of violations from General Relativity were detected.
We study a static, spherically symmetric wormhole model whose metric coincides with that of the so-called Ellis wormhole but the material source of gravity consists of a perfect fluid with negative density and a source-free radial electric or magneti c field. For a certain class of fluid equations of state, it has been shown that this wormhole model is linearly stable under both spherically symmetric perturbations and axial perturbations of arbitrary multipolarity. A similar behavior is predicted for polar nonspherical perturbations. It thus seems to be the first example of a stable wormhole model in the framework of general relativity (at least without invoking phantom thin shells as wormhole sources).
A new simple expression for the circular velocity of spiral galaxies is proposed and tested against HI Nearby Galaxy Survey (THINGS) data set. Its accuracy is compared with the one coming from MOND.
The paper discusses the optimal conguration of one or more ring lasers to be used for measuring the general relativistic effects of the rotation of the earth, as manifested on the surface of the planet. The analysis is focused on devices having their normal vector lying in the meridian plane. The crucial role of the evaluation of the angles is evidenced. Special attention is paid to the orientation at the maximum signal, minimizing the sensitivity to the orientation uncertainty. The use of rings at different latitudes is mentioned and the problem of the non-sfericity of the earth is commented.
We propose a new formula to explain circular velocity profiles of spiral galaxies obtained from the Starobinsky model in Palatini formalism. It is based on the assumption that the gravity can be described by two conformally related metrics: one of th em is responsible for the measurement of distances, while the other so-called dark metric, is responsible for a geodesic equation and therefore can be used for the description of the velocity profile. The formula is tested against a subset of galaxies taken from the HI Nearby Galaxy Survey (THINGS).
