Cover Story: What if dark matter interacted non-locally with gravity? We investigate this possibility by exploiting fractional calculus, i.e., the branch of mathematics that deals with the differentiation and integration of non-integer order, and specifically by considering a modified Poisson equation with fractional derivatives. We recently showed that such a framework can accurately reproduce the kinematics of disk-dominated galaxies, especially dwarfs. We now further test fractional gravity in the largest structures of the cosmos: galaxy clusters. All in all, we pinpoint the strength of non-locality over six orders of magnitude in dark matter mass. The resulting trend implies that fractional gravity can substantially alleviate the small-scale issues of the standard dark matter paradigm while retaining its successes on large cosmological scales.

BL Lac objects are active galactic nuclei notable for a beamed nonthermal radiation, which is generated in one of the relativistic jets forming a small angle to the observer’s line-of-sight. The broadband spectra of BL Lacs show a two-component...

Newtonian Cosmology and Evolution of κ-Deformed Universe

  • E. Harikumar,
  • Harsha Sreekumar and
  • Suman Kumar Panja

Considering space-time to be non-commutative, we study the evolution of the universe employing the approach of Newtonian cosmology. Generalizing the conservation of energy and the first law of thermodynamics to κ-deformed space-time, we derive...

We investigate the class of helical hypersurfaces parametrized by x=x(u,v,w), characterized by a light-like axis in Minkowski spacetime L4. We determine the matrices that represent the fundamental forms, Gauss map, and shape operator of x. Furthermor...

The non-linear dynamics of scalar fields coupled to matter and gravity can lead to remarkable density-dependent screening effects. In this short review, we present the main classes of screening mechanisms, and discuss their tests in laboratory and as...

Stability Analysis of a Self-Gravitating Fluid within EIT Theory

  • J. Félix Salazar,
  • A. L. García-Perciante,
  • A. R. Méndez and
  • G. Chacón-Acosta

In this article, we apply the formalism of (classical) Extended Irreversible Thermodynamics (EIT) to the dynamics of density fluctuations for a self-gravitating fluid in a static Universe, considering only bulk viscosity. The problem is characterized...

The PHENIX experiment measured two-particle Bose–Einstein quantum-statistical correlations of charged kaons in Au+Au collisions at sNN = 200 GeV. The correlation functions are parametrized assuming that the source emitting the particles has a L...
