Infrared Spectral Gap in a Gluonic Dark Sector and the Galactic Acceleration Scale

Gilles Cohen-Tannoudji, Hamed Pejhan, Jean-Pierre Gazeau, Jean-Pierre Treuil

A spectral gap in a gluonic dark sector accounts for the galactic acceleration scale through Newtonian gravity.

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

A self-gravitating condensate dominated by the lowest-weight mode then leads to a characteristic acceleration g⋆ = G M_h / r_c², naturally of the same order as the observed galactic acceleration scale, within standard Newtonian gravity.

C2weakest assumption

That a long-lived color-neutral gluonic vacuum component organizes at large distances into a spectrally rigid lowest-weight structure whose gap is representation-theoretically protected by the so(2,3) algebra and directly controls the large-scale coherence to yield the galactic acceleration scale.

C3one line summary

A trace-anomaly-seeded infrared gap in a coherent gluonic dark sector produces the observed galactic acceleration scale g⋆ = G M_h / r_c² as its gravitational signature.
