Galaxy rotation curves in the light of the Spinor Theory of Gravity
We analyze the recently obtained static and spherically symmetric solution of the Spinor Theory of Gravity (STG) which, in the weak field limit, presents an effective Newtonian potential that contains an extra logarithmic behavior. We apply this solution to the description of the galaxy rotation curves finding an interesting analogy with the dark matter halo profile proposed by Navarro, Frenk and White.
