Modified Gravity (MOG) has been used successfully to explain the rotation curves of galaxies, the motion of galaxy clusters, the Bullet Cluster, and cosmological observations without the use of dark matter or Einstein's cosmological constant. We now have the ability to demonstrate how these solutions can be obtained directly from the action principle, without resorting to the use of fitted parameters or empirical formulae. We obtain numerical solutions to the theory's field equations that are exact in the sense that no terms are omitted, in two important cases: the spherically symmetric, static vacuum solution and the cosmological case of an homogeneous, isotropic universe. We compare these results to selected astrophysical and cosmological observations.

  1. CMB Acoustic Power Spectra in STVG-MOG

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    STVG-MOG makes pre-recombination scalar perturbations degenerate with ΛCDM by letting the vector field φ_μ act as collisionless pressureless dust with ρ_φ ∝ a^{-3} while keeping G_eff ≈ G_N on acoustic scales.

  2. On Recent measurements of Toponium Threshold Enhancement in Entire-Function-Regulated Nonlocal Quantum Field Theory

    physics.gen-ph 2025-07 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    Threshold excess in toponium production is accommodated in an entire-function-regulated nonlocal QFT by a data-driven cutoff parameter and small RG effects while preserving global QCD tests.
