Abstract

ABSTRACT: The asymptotic freedom conjecture for gravitation is explored in which strong renormalization effects (as in QCD) may occur at astrophysical distance scales larger than the solar system. Nonperturbative renormalization group trajectories exhibiting such an infrared fixed point describe a theory of gravitation with a running gravitational coupling which grows at large distance. The concept that this extra gravity may provide the answer to the missing mass inherent in the dark matter paradigm is a natural suggestion. We provide the alternative of Modified Gravity to answer the problem of galaxy rotation curves from the smallest dwarf galaxies to the largest giant galaxies and to galaxy clusters including the Bullet Cluster. The theory may also explain the apparent anomalous deceleration of the Pioneer 10 and 11 space probes, within solar system constraints.
