3 1. Introduction A fully relativistic modified gravity (MOG) called Scalar-Tensor- Vector-Gravity (STVG) leads to a self-consistent, stable gravity theory that can describe solar system, astrophysical and cosmological data. The theory has an extra degree of freedom, a vector field called a “phion” field whose curl is a skew field that couples to matter (“fifth force”). The gravitational field is described by a symmetric Einstein metric tensor. The effective classical theory allows the gravitational coupling “constant” G to vary as a scalar field with space and time. The effective mass of the skew symmetric field and the coupling of the field to matter also vary as scalar fields with space and time. The variation of the constants can be explained in a quantum gravity renormalization group (RG) flow scenario in which gravity is an asymptotically-free theory (Reuter and Weyer, JWM, 2005). The constants run with momentum k as in QCD, and a cutoff procedure leads to space and time varying constants. The STVG theory is an effective classical description of the RG flow scenario. The quantum gravity theory is constructed to be non- perturbatively renormalizable.

4 The modified Newtonian acceleration law for weak fields can fit a large amount of galaxy rotation curve data without non- baryonic dark matter (Brownstein and JWM, 2006). It also can fit data for X-ray galaxy clusters without dark matter. The modified acceleration law is consistent with the solar system data and can possibly explain the Pioneer 10/11 anomalous acceleration (Brownstein & Moffat, 2006). A MOG should explain the following: The CMB data including the power spectrum data; The formation of proto-galaxies in the early universe and the growth of galaxies; Gravitational lensing data for galaxies and clusters of galaxies; N-body simulations of galaxy surveys; The accelerating expansion of the universe. We seek a unified description of solar system, astrophysical and large-scale cosmological data.

7 The modified weak field acceleration law can be written The pioneer anomalous acceleration directed towards the center of the Sun is obtained from (Anderson, Turyshev, Nieto..): We assume the following parametric forms for the “running” of the constants and : where and b are constants.

8 4. Fitting Galaxy Rotation Curves A fitting routine has been applied to fit a large number of galaxy rotation curves (101 galaxies), using photometric data (58 galaxies) and a core model (43 galaxies) (Brownstein and JWM, 2005). The fits to the data are remarkably good and for the photometric data only one parameter, the mass-to-light ratio M/L, is used for the fitting once two parameters alpha and lambda are universally fixed for galaxies and dwarf galaxies. The fits are close to those obtained from Milgrom’s MOND acceleration law (Milgrom 1983) in all cases considered. A large sample of X-ray mass profile cluster data (106 clusters) has also been well fitted (Brownstein and JWM, 2006). The fitting of the radial dependence of the dynamical cluster mass is effectively a zero-parameter fit, for the two parameters alpha and lambda are fitted to the determined bulk mass. The rotational velocity curves become at large distances from the galaxies (satellites) the Kepler-Newtonian curves.

23 6. MOG Cosmology An important extra-degree of freedom in MOG is the light, electrically uncharged vector particle called a phion. In the early universe at a temperature T < T_c, where T_c is a critical temperature, the phions become a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) fluid. The phion condensates couple weakly with gravitational strength to ordinary baryonic matter. This cold fluid has zero classical pressure and zero shear viscosity and dominates the density of matter at cosmological scales and, because of its clumping due to gravitational collapse, allows the formation of structure and galaxies at sub-horizon scales well before recombination. We do not postulate the existence of cold dark matter in the form of heavy, new stable particles such as supersymmetric WIMPS. The phions undergo a 2 nd -order phase transition through a spontaneous symmetry breaking for T _0 can weakly break Lorentz invariance.

24 The correlation function for the temperature differences across the sky for a given angle theta takes the form: I use a modified form of the analytic calculation of C_l given by Mukhanov (2006) to obtain a fit to the acoustical peaks in the CMB for l > 100 < The adopted density parameters are Without the dominant BEC phion-matter, the Silk and finite thickness scales l_s and l_f erase any peaks above the second peak (baryon drag). The speed of sound c_s^2 ~ 14 Omega_{b,0} depends on the baryon density today.

27 For local late-time bound systems such as galaxies and clusters of galaxies the symmetry breaking is relaxed and the phion Bose-Einstein condensates become ultra-light and relativistic. For galaxies and clusters of galaxies ordinary baryonic matter and neutral hydrogen and helium gases now constitute the dominant form of matter. The phion field and the spatial variation of G modify for late-time galaxies Newton’s acceleration law. The rotational velocity curves are flattened, because of the altered dynamics of the gravitational field at the outer regions of spiral galaxies and not because of the presence of a dominant dark matter halo. The dual role played by the phion field in describing galaxies and the large-scale structure of the universe is a generic feature of our MOG theory.

28 7. Conclusions A stable and self-consistent modified gravity (MOG) theory is constructed from a pseudo-Riemannian geometry and a massive skew field obtained from the curl of a massive vector field (phion field). The static spherically symmetric solution of the field equations yields a modified Newtonian acceleration law with a scale dependence. The gravitational “constant” G, the effective mass and the coupling strength of the skew field run with distance scale r according to an infra-red RG flow scenario based on an “asymptotically” free quantum gravity. This can be described by an effective classical STVG action. A fit to 101 galaxy rotations curves is obtained and mass profiles of x-ray galaxy clusters are also successfully fitted for those clusters that are isothermal. A possible explanation of the Pioneer anomalous acceleration is obtained from the MOG with predictions for the onset of the anomalous acceleration at Saturn’s orbit and for the periods of the outer planets.

29 The phion boson field forms Bose-Einstein condensates through a spontaneous symmetry breaking at large cosmological scales, which can explain the formation of proto-galaxies and at late times the structure of galaxies and clusters. A fit to the CMB acoustical power spectrum data can be achieved with a 2-component BEC and baryon-photon fluid for which the BEC density Omega_\phi > Omega_b. For late-time local virialized clusters of galaxies and galaxies, the BEC symmetry breaking is relaxed and the baryons and neutral gases dominate, Omega_b > Omega_phi, and the MOG acceleration law explains galaxy rotation curves and mass profiles of clusters. Heavy WIMP dark matter particles will not be observed in laboratory experiments. The MOG theory gives a unified description of solar system, astrophysical and cosmological data. END
