to reproduce the Tully-Fisher relation without dark matter and without changing the amount …

The Tully-Fisher law and dark matter effects derived via modified symmetries

I Arraut - Europhysics Letters, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
In any physical system, when we move from short to large scales, new spacetime
symmetries emerge which help us to simplify the dynamics of the system. In this letter we …
