Solving the Conundrum of Dark Matter and Dark Energy in Galaxy Clusters ()
1. Introduction
The bases of this paper are developed in [1] Abarca, M. 2023, so it is highly recommended to read it to understand the meaning of this paper. The dark matter by quantum gravitation theory, DMbQG theory hereafter, is an original theory developed since 2013 through more than 20 papers, although in [1] Abarca, M. 2023 is published the best version as physical as mathematically. The theory has been stated studying the galactic rotation curves, specially the ones associated to MW and M31, see [2] Sofue, Y. 2015 and [3] Sofue, Y. 2020. Therefore, it is not possible to understand this paper if readers have not at least a general knowledge about the DMbQG theory.
The hypothesis of DMbQG theory is that the DM is generated by the own gravitational field. In order to study purely the DM phenomenon, it is needed to consider a radius dominion where it is supposed that baryonic matter is negligible. For example, for MW galaxy the radius must be bigger than 30 kpc and bigger than 40 kpc for M31 galaxy. For galactic clusters, the radius must be bigger than its virial radius.
This hypothesis has two main consequences: the first one is that the law of dark matter generation, in the halo region, has to be the same for all the galaxies and clusters; the second one is that the DM haloes are unlimited so the total dark matter goes up without limit.
The DMbQG theory has been developed assuming the hypothesis that DM is a quantum gravitational effect. See [4] Corda, C. 2012. However, it is possible to remain into the Newtonian framework to develop the theory. In my opinion, there are two factors to manage the DM phenomenon with a quite simple theory.
The first one, that it is developed into the halo region, where baryonic matter is negligible. The second one, that the mechanics movements of celestial bodies are very slow regarding velocity of light, which is supposed to be the speed of gravitational bosons. It is known that community of physics is researching a quantum gravitation theory since many years ago, but does not exist yet; however, my works in this area support strongly that DM is a quantum gravitation phenomenon.
Use a more simple theory instead the general theory is a typical procedure in physics.
For example, the Kirchhoff’s laws are the consequence of Maxwell theory for direct current and remain valid for alternating current, introducing complex impe-dances, on condition that signals must have low frequency.
In [1] Abarca, M. 2023, in the framework of DMbQG, is demonstrated mathematically that the total mass (baryonic plus DM) enclosed by a sphere with a specific radius is given by the Direct mass into the galactic halo and that the total mass goes up proportionally to the root square of radius, formula (4.1).
It is well known that DE may be modelled as a constant density of negative mass in the whole space, see [5] Chernin, A.D. et al. 2013, therefore the total amount of DE grows up with the cubic power of the sphere radius, so it is clear that DE is able to counterbalance the total mass of the clusters, which grows up more slowly. Precisely, the main goal of this paper is to study the relation between both phenomenons in clusters. Namely in cluster haloes.
This paper explores the mutual counterbalance between DM and DE in the framework of DMbQG theory and the result got have been fructiferous, with a dozen of new formulas never published before.
The following paragraphs will be introduced the paper structure:
The newness of the important results got in this paper are due to the possibility to approximate the virial radius to R200 and the virial mass to M200, the chapter 3 is dedicated to validate this approximation using recent data published for some important clusters such as Virgo or some others.
The chapter 4 is dedicated to extend the direct mass formula to clusters. The direct mass formula (4.1) has only one parameter “a2” whose units are m5/2/s2. Using the approximation R200 as virial radius and M200 as virial mass into the direct mass formula it is got the formula
which is on the basis for some important results got in the following chapters.
The chapter 5 contains three main concepts:
Firstly, it is defined the zero gravity radius, RZG, as the sphere radius where the total mass is counterbalanced by the DE. It is found that the ratio RZG/RVIRIAL ≈ 7.3 is universal.
Secondly, it is defined the gravitating mass as the addition of total mass plus the dark energy and the gravitating mass function using a dimensionless parameter f = Radius/RZG. It is found that for any cluster at ≈0.5 RZG is reached the maximum of gravitating mass and its value is MG (<RM) ≈ 1.57 MVIR.
Finally, it is defined the concept of extended halo (RE) as the spherical region where the ratio
i.e. the local ratio of such densities is equal to the current global ratio one, and it is found that RE ≈1.85 RZG.
In the sixth chapter it is defined the zero velocity radius, RZV, as the sphere radius where the escape velocity is zero because of the Hubble flow. It is demonstrated that the ratio RZV/RZG ≈ 0.602 is universal.
In the seventh chapter, it is validated the gravitating mass formula into the Virgo cluster for a couple of radius. Namely at 7.3 Mpc and at 3.4 Mpc. The calculus made with the formula of gravitating mass is compared successfully with recent results published in 2020. Also it is validated the theoretical result of RZV/RZG ≈ 0.602 with result of measures published.
Two of the most important results got in this work are the formula
being U≈ 2.7 and the formula
associated to zero gravity radius and the extended radius respectively.
Thanks these formulas this work suggest the possibility to solve the current discrepancy between the local parameter of matter density,
, see [6] Karachentsev et al. 2014, and the current global one
. This discrepancy is an open problem for the current cosmology.
Finally the chapter 8 is devoted to the concluding remarks.
The reader can consult the paper [7] Abarca, M, 2024, which is an extension of this paper, 24 pages, where the theory is validated through the Local Group and the Coma cluster data published as well.
2. Virial Mass and Virial Radius in Cluster of Galaxies
In cluster, it is a good estimation about virial radius and virial mass to consider Rvir = R200 and Mvir = M200. Where R200 is the radius of a sphere whose mean density is 200 times bigger than the critic density of Universe
(2.1)
and M200 is the total mass enclosed by the radius R200.
Considering the spherical volume formula, it is right to get the following relation between both concepts
(2.2)
or
(2.3)

As the Virgo cluster is the nearest between the big clusters it is crucial to check the approximation for virial mass and radius with its data.
See in Table 2 the data of Virgo cluster, according [9] Olga Kashibadze, I. Kara-chentsev. 2020.
Using formula (2.3) with R200 =1.7 Mpc it is got M200 = 5.59 × 1014
which matches with the mass published if it is considered the range of errors.

In conclusion: R200 and M200 are a very good estimation for the virial radius and the virial mass for a group of galaxies and a cluster of galaxies, when they are in dynamical equilibrium.
3. Virial Theorem as a Method to Get the Direct Mass Formula in Galaxy Clusters
In chapter 9, of paper [1] Abarca, M. 2023 was demonstrated that the direct formula
(3.1)
is the most suitable formula to calculate the total mass (baryonic and DM) depending on radius in the galactic halo.
3.1. Parameter a2 Formula Depending on Virial Radius and Virial Mass
Due to the fact that the Direct mass formula has one parameter only, is enough to know the mass associated to a specific radius to be able to calculate parameter a2. That is the situation when it is known the virial mass and the virial radius for a cluster of galaxies.
If it is considered that the virial radius is the border of halo cluster where galaxies are in dynamical equilibrium and at the same time is negligible the amount of Baryonic matter outside the sphere with such radius, then according DMbQG theory is possible to do an equation between MVIRIAL (<RVIRIAL) = MDIRECT (<RVIRIAL) (3.2.1) i.e.
(3.2)
and clearing up
(3.3)
this formula is called parameter a2 (MVIR, RVIR) because depend on both measures.
3.2. Parameter a2 Formula Depending on Virial Mass Only
In chapter 2 was got this formula
(2.2) as a good approximation between virial mass and virial radius. So using that formula and by substitution of virial radius in
(3.3) it is right to get parameter a2 depending on MVIR only
(3.4)
This formula will be called parameter a2 (MVIR) as depend on MVIR only.
With the virial data for Virgo cluster, see Table 2, will be calculated its parameter a2 with the formula (3.3) i.e. a2 (MVIR, RVIR) and with the formula (3.4) i.e. a2 (MVIR).
The last formula is an approximation of the previous formula as it is supposed that RVIR ≈ R200. In Table 3 are calculated both formulas and fortunately its relative difference is negligible.

4. Dark Matter Is Counter Balanced by Dark Energy at Zero Gravity Radius
The basic concepts about DE on the current cosmology can be studied in [5] Chernin, A.D.
As currently there is a tension regarding the experimental value of Hubble constant, in this paper will be used H = 70 Km/s/Mpc and
as the fraction of Universal density of DE.
4.1. Zero Gravity Radius Depending on Parameter a2 Formula
According [5] Chernin, A. D. in the current cosmologic model
, dark energy has an effect equivalent to antigravity i.e. the mass associated to dark energy is negative and the dark energy have a constant density for all the Universe equal to
being
and
the critic density of the Universe.
As DE density is constant, the total DE mass is proportional to Radius with power 3, whereas DM mass grows with radius power 0.5 so it is right to get a radius where DM is counter balanced by DE.
According to [5] Chernin, A. D.
, (4.1)
Is the mass associated to DE or equivalently
(4.2)
Notice that the author multiplies by two the volume of a sphere by reasons explained in his work.
[5] Chernin defines gravitating mass
(4.3)
where MTOTAL is baryonic plus dark matter mass, and defines RZG, Radius at zero Gravity as the radius where
. i.e. where the gravitating mass is zero.
According to the previous equation it is got
(4.4)
Using (3.1) formula
the Equation (4.4) leads to
, (4.5)
where it is possible to clear up
(4.6)
and as
(4.7)
then by substitution
(4.8)
This formula will be called RZG (parameter a2).
As the radius RZG is the distance to cluster centre where is zero the gravitating mass, it is right to consider RZG as the halo radius and its sphere defined as the halo cluster.
4.2. Zero Gravity Radius Formula Depending on Virial Mass
In previous chapter was got the value for
(3.4), depending on MVIR, so by substitution in (4.8) it is right to get
(4.9)
In Table 4 are calculated RZG by two ways: Formulas (4.8) and (4.9). Both calculi are mathematically equivalents. See in Table 4 how the both values match perfectly. See in Table 2 the values for the Virial mass of Virgo.

With this important cluster of galaxies, it has been illustrated how the total mass,
calculated by
, is counter balanced by dark energy at mega
parsecs scale, and precisely this Radius at zero gravity determines the region size where the cluster has gravitational influence.
4.3. Zero Gravity Radius versus Virial Radius
From (2.2)
it is right to get
. In previous epigraph was got
(4.9). So it is right to get the ratio
(4.10)
which is universal as it does not depend on virial mass associated to a specific cluster.
Using the data from Table 1, first, second and third columns, the fourth column of Table 5 is calculated the zero gravity radius formula (4.9). In the last column is calculated the ratio.
It is clear that the ratio RZG/RVIR got in this sample of celestial bodies match very well with the theoretical ratio formula (4.10)

Similarly in Table 6, it is done the same ratio for the Virgo cluster with an optimal result, for the Virial radius see Table 3, for the Zero gravity radius see Table 4.

4.4. Total Mass Associated to a Cluster of Galaxies
4.4.1. Total Mass Associated to the Sphere with Zero Gravity Radius
In epigraph 4.1 was shown how this equation
see (4.4) is used to define RZG. By simplification it is got
(4.11)
being M = 5.3984·10−26 (I.S.)
So that is the total mass formula, using the equation between total mass and dark energy at zero gravity radius.
In Table 7 is shown calculus of total mass for Virgo.

4.4.2. Total Mass at Zero Gravity Radius Using the Virial Mass
Using rightly the direct mass formula see (3.1) at RZG it is got
(4.12)
By substitution of (3.4)
and (4.9)
in (4.12) it is got
(4.13)
and calling
(4.14)
U ≈ 2.7 then
(4.15)
So may be stated that according Dark matter by gravitation theory, the total mass (baryonic plus DM) enclosed by the sphere with radius RZG is equivalent to 2.7 times the Virial Mass.
In Table 8 are compared the masses for Virgo using the formula (4.15) and the previous one (4.11). It is clear that both are mathematically equivalents.

By the direct formula for total mass, may be calculated the total mass associated to a radius, which is a fraction of RZG, with the following property: if
then
(4.16)
because
. See (4.15)
e.g., using the data for Virgo cluster RZG = 12.87 and RVIR = R200 = 1.7687 Mpc, then RVIR/RZG = f = 0.137428 and by the formula (4.16)
.
4.5. Total Dark Energy at Zero Gravity Radius
The formula (4.2) at RZG becomes
(4.17)
that it is just the opposite value to
see (4.13) because the total gravitating mass enclosed into the sphere of zero gravity radius is zero by definition.
(4.18)
See epigraph 4.1
Therefore
see (4.15), being U ≈ 2.7, so joining (4.17) and (4.18) it is got
(4.19)
The formula (4.19) may be used to calculate the mass associated to DE at a specific radius R, writing such radius as a fraction of RZG i.e.
then (4.2) is written as
(4.20)
For example using the Virgo data RZG =12.871 Mpc and RVIR = R200 = 1.7687 Mpc, the ratio RVIR/RZG = f = 0.137428 and
i.e. MDE (<RVIR) is negligible, whereas
.
4.6. Gravitating Mass Function
In the epigraph 4.1 was defined the gravitating mass MG = MDE + MTOTAL, where MTOTAL is baryonic plus dark matter mass and MDE is the negative mass associated to DE.
The best way to calculate the gravitating mass is using the formulas got in epigraph 4.4 and 4.5 where are calculated the both types of masses associated to a radius, which is a fraction of RZG, i.e.
, these formulas are (4.16) and (4.20).
Joining both ones it is got
(4.21)
where
. This way the gravitating mass depends on the dimensionless factor f.
Dominion of the Gravitating Mass Function
As the gravitating mass is defined into the halo cluster, its dominion begins at RVIR so the gravitating mass depending on f begins at RVIR/RZG. By (4.10) formula RZG/RVIR =7.277 then RVIR/RZG = 1/7.277 therefore the dominion of the gravitating mass function depending on
begins at 0.13732.
In this epigraph this function will be studied up to f = 1 i.e. when the radius reaches the zero gravity radius.
In Figure 1 is represented the ratio gravitating mass/virial mass versus the ratio f = R/RZG in its dominion and close to f = 0.5 the function reach the maximum.
Figure 1. Gravitating mass function/Virial mass vs f.
4.7. Calculus for the Maximum of the Gravitating Mass
It is clear that such function will have a maximum, that it is found easily by derivation,
, so the radius at maximum is
. (4.22)
By substitution of this value fM into the mass gravitating formula (5.21) it is got
(4.23)
So may be stated the following important result:
For any cluster of galaxies at a half of RZG, it is reached the maximum of gravitating mass which is 1.57·MVIR.
4.8. Density of the Total Mass into the Halo Cluster Theorem
Assuming the hypothesis that Rvir = R200 and Mvir = M200, i.e. the virial sphere
being
the critical density of Universe.
Then into the halo cluster sphere the
(4.24)
Being RZG the halo radius.
Proof:
In that chained equalities has been used two properties before got: (4.15) and (4.10).
Dark Energy Density into the Halo Cluster
As into the current
model the DE density has a constant value,
in every place, in particular
(4.25)
Corolarius
The ratio density of total mass versus density of DE into the halo cluster is 2.
4.9. Extended Halo Where the Ratio Total Mass versus Dark Energy Is 3/7
At the present, it is accepted that
as a global average in the current Universe, so it is worth to calculate an extension of halo cluster, RE, where it is reached such ratio. Now it is calculated the radius of a sphere that verify
(4.26)
and by (4.2)
then by substitution into (4.26) it is got
(4.27)
Using (4.16) and (4.20) it is right to get the second one equality below.
(4.28)
By equation (4.27) and (4.28) it is got
whose solution is
(4.29)
Therefore the radius of extended halo searched is
(4.30)
and by (4.16)
(4.31)
In order to validate such calculus is enough to check that the Density of total mass at RE radius is
(4.32)
as it was expected.
For example for the Virgo cluster RE = 1.85·12.9 Mpc = 23.9 Mpc.
5. Zero Velocity Radius Because of the Hubble Flow
It is defined the zero velocity radius as the distance to the cluster centre, where the escape velocity from gravitation field is equal to Hubble flow velocity. i.e.
(5.1)
From classical dynamic it is taken the formula
. (5.2)
i.e. the kinetic energy associated to escape velocity compensates the potential energy getting zero as total energy ad infinitum.
It is not possible to use the classical escape velocity formula
. (5.3)
because of two reasons:
1) The gravitational potential in DMbG they is different to
.
2) The border of the halo cluster is RZG where the gravitating mass is zero.
5.1. Gravitational Potential into the Halo Cluster
The gravitating mass is zero at RZG the line integral for potential goes up to RZG, so the formula is
(5.4)
The gravitating mass
(4.21) will be used to do the integral, doing some little changes.
As
and calling
, by substitution in (4.21) it is got
(5.5)
that by substitution in (5.4) results
(5.6)
whose result is
(5.7)
where its dominion ranges from RVIR up to RZG.
Notice that
and
is negative inside its dominion.
5.2. Equation for Zero Velocity Radius
In this epigraph will be developed the equation
(5.1) to calculate the
From (5.2)
So
(5.8)
and by substitution of potential formula (5.7) it is got
(5.9)
reorganising that equation it is got:
(5.10)
and multiplying that equation by the factor
it is got a better expression
(5.11)
Which is the equation for zero velocity radius.
That equation is not possible to solve with algebraic methods, but is quite easy to solve numerically for specific data.
5.3. Zero Velocity Radius for Virgo Cluster
In Table 9 there are the Virgo cluster data. Virial radius and mass data come from [9] O. Kashi-badze.

Using such data it is possible to calculate the coefficient for the equation (5.11)
As U ≈ 2.7 and K = U·MVIR then
GK = 2.259E+35 (I.S. units),
,
and
The equation (5.11) is easy to be solved numerically.
Using f = Radius/RZG it is got that f = 0.602 is a very good approximation for the solution. Therefore the RZV = f·RZG = 7.75 Mpc.
5.4. Zero Velocity Radius Theorem
Considering (5.11) as the equation for the RZV then according DMbQG theory the ratio RZV/RZG is universal and its value is RZV/RZG ≈ 0.602016.
Proof
The equation (5.11) is
where
being
(4.14) and
(4.9) then
using the values for K, U and RZG , doing some algebraic substitutions and transformations it is not difficult to get the following equation.
(5.12)
and defining
the equation (5.12) becomes
(5.13)
that considering
becomes:
(5.14)
By elementary algebraic operations it is got this equivalent equation:
Thanks Wolfram alpha software, this is its only real solution
f ≈ 0.602016 (5.15)
By this new formulation of the equation for RZV calculus, it has been demonstrated that the ratio f = RZV/RZG is universal and depends on
solely.
Notice how close are the value (5.15) with the one got for Virgo in epigraph 5.3.

it is right to get that

6. Validation of the Theory with Results Published about Virgo Cluster
In this chapter, some theoretical results got in this paper will be validated with three results published about the Virgo cluster.
The first test is relative to the RZV and its associated mass. These results were studied in chapter 5.
The second test is relative to the gravitating mass associated to the twice of virial radius.
In the third test, the most important, it is postulated that DMbQG theory is able to multiply by the factor
the current parameter of local matter density
. reaching 0.294 which match with the value
. accepted currently by the scientific community.
6.1. Gravitating Mass Associated to the Zero Velocity Radius at 7.3 Mpc
In the clipped text below, from [9] O. Kashibadze. 2020, the authors gives the interval for [7, 7.3] Mpc for the RZV.
rding DMbQG theory, the zero velocity radius RZV =7.75 Mpc, see epigraph 5.3, so the relative difference is only 6%.
This is a very good match between experimental results and theoretical results by DMbQG theory.
Also at the concluding remarks from [9] O. Kashibadze.2020, the authors give for the total mass MT (<R0) = (7.4 ± 0.9)·1014
. As this value is got by dynamical measures in fact this value must be considered as gravitational mass.
The theoretical value (5.12) calculated in epigraph 5.5 is MG (<RZV) ≈1.5·MVIR = 9.48E14
which is 14 % bigger regarding the value given by the authors, if it is considered the upper value of the interval. So both results may be considered compatibles.

7. Concluding remarks The analysis of galaxy motions in the outskirts of the Virgo cluster makes it possible to measure the radius of the zero velocity surface, Ro = 7 - 7.3 Mpc (Karachentsev et al. 2014, Shaya et al. 2017, Kashibadze et al. 2018) corresponding to the total mass of the Virgo cluster MT = (7.4 ± 0.9) × 1014
inside the Ro. The numerical simulated trajectories of nearby galaxies with accurate distance estimates performed by Shaya et al. (2017) confirmed the obtained estimate of the total mass of the cluster. The virial mass of the cluster, being determined independently at the scale Rg = 1.7 Mpc from the internal motions, is nearly the same MVIR (6.3 ± 0.9) × 1014

6.2. Gravitating Mass Associated Up to the Twice of Virial Radius
As RVIR = 1.7 Mpc its twice value is 3.4 Mpc. As RZG = 12.9 Mpc then f = 3.4/12.9 = 0.2635 and by (4.21)
.
This value match perfectly with the interval of masses given below in the clipped text.

The Plank collaboration (2016) performed a detailed study of the Virgo cluster through Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect and found the total mass of warm/hot gas to be (1.4 - 1.6) × 1014
. Assuming the cosmic value for the baryon fraction,
, they found that the total mass of the cluster would be (7.4 - 8.7) × 1014
on a scale up to 2 times larger than the virial radius. |
The total mass mentioned in Kashibadze paper it is considered in this paper as gravitating mass because in the whole paper of Kashibadze et al. they use always the concept of total mass as a result of dynamical measures so it is more suitable to interpret his total mass as gravitating mass.
Anyway, considering the total mass given by the formula (4.16) then
that match with the upper value of mass range given by the authors.
6.3. Solving the Conundrum: The Local Density Matter versus the Global Density Matter
Below is the clipped text of a paper published for a team of well known astrophysicist.
Clipped text from introduction of paper [6] Karachentsev I. D., R. Brent Tully. 2014 |
As it has been noted by different authors (Vennik, 1984, Tully, 1987, Crook et al. 2007, Makarov & Karachentsev, 2011, Karachentsev, 2012), the total virial masses of nearby groups and clusters leads to a mean local density of matter
, that is 1/3 the mean global density
(Spergel et al., 2007). One possible explanation of the disparity between the local and global density estimates may be that the outskirts of groups and clusters contain significant amount of dark matter beyond their virial radii, beyond what is anticipated from the integrated light of galaxies within the infall domain. If so, to get agreement between local and global values of
, the total mass of the Virgo cluster (and other clusters) must be 3 times their virial masses. |
In page 3 of that paper, they state that at the nearby clusters the mean local density of matter is
, whereas the global mass density in the Universe is
(data year 2007).
Currently that data updated for scientific community is
.
The authors suggest that a possible solution for this tension would be that the total mass for cluster haloes must be three times the virial mass. That is justly what is found in this paper studying the DM at cluster scale as universal law in the framework of DMbQG theory.
In chapter 4, the formula (4.13)
,
shows that the total mass (baryonic and DM) enclosed into the halo cluster is U ≈ 2.7 times the virial mass equal to
.
However in the epigraph 4.9 has been calculated an extension of the halo cluster
up to radius RE = 1.85·RZG to obtain a ratio
. Now using the formula (4.16) it is right to calculate the total mass enclosed by such sphere
being f = 1.85 and the factor
then
(6.1)
Therefore with such factor the parameter
is increased up to a
(6.2)
because according [6] Karachentsev et al. 2014, the coefficient
is calculated considering the virial masses of clusters into the Local Universe, and as according DMbQG such total mass is increased by the factor 3.67 if it is considered an extended halo with radius RE = 1.85·RZG then the coefficient
match perfectly with
.
This result enables an experimental test to validate these theoretical findings: If at the present Universe, the average distance between clusters is about its RE associated to each one, then the DMbQG theory would explain the current
.
In other words, considering that almost the total baryonic matter at the current Universe is enclosed inside the virial radius of the clusters, as it is confirmed by multiples measures, the DMbQG is able to justify that
on condition that the average distance between clusters is the extended radius RE.
7. Concluding Remarks
Thanks direct mass
(3.1) and using the approximation of virial mass for M200 and the virial radius for R200 it is possible to get the formula
(3.4).
In chapter 3, the direct mass has been extended to clusters, and it is possible to state that all the new theoretical results obtained in this paper are based on this formula, co working with the well known properties of DE.
The main results got in this paper are summarized below.
A) The universality of ratio RZG/RVIR ≈ 7.3 (4.10) and its total mass associated, being MTOTAL (<RZG) ≈ 2.7 MVIR (4.15).
B) For any cluster at 0.488 RZG (4.22) is reached the maximum of gravitating mass and MG (<RM) ≈ 1.57·MVIR (4.23).
C) The universality of the ratio RZV/RZG ≈ 0.602 (5.15) and its gravitating mass MG (<RZV) ≈ 1.5 MVIR (5.16).
D) The universality of the ratio RE/RZG ≈ 1.85, (4.29) where the ratio total mass density versus DE density is 3/7 and its total mass
(4.31).
Finally in chapter 6, some results published about Virgo cluster are introduced that back fully the previous theoretical findings:
1) Regarding the property D) may be consulted [6] Karachentsev I. D., R. Brent Tully 2014 to understand more in deep the current tension between the low value for Local mass density parameter
and the current global matter density parameter
.
2) Calculus of the zero velocity radius and its associated gravitating mass of Virgo are compatibles with the result published by [9] Olga Kashibadze et al. 2020, see epigraph 6.1.
3) Calculus of the mass gravitating at two times the virial radius match fully with the result published by [9] Olga Kashibadze et al. 2020, see epigraph 6.2.
These new theoretical findings offer to scientific community a number of tests to validate the theory. The validation of DMbQG theory would suggest that DM is a quantum gravitation effect, see [4] Corda 2012, see [10] Corda 2018 and see [11] Abarca 2014, giving to scientific community new elements to continue searching a quantum gravitation theory.
