Scientific paper

The observed superrotation of the material at the outer edge of galaxies is considered theoretically. Instead of explaining this motion in terms of a dark-matter halo, a Maxwellian-type interaction between masses is proposed. In this scheme, the luminous matter in the central galaxy and its motion provide the sources and vortices of a generalized gravitational field, and a gravoinductional force generated by mass currents leads to a new type of gravitational coupling between masses. It is shown analytically that this mechanism should have a greater effect than Newtonian gravity at large distances from the rotating central mass. Several specific problems are explored, and possible observational tests of the theory are discussed.
