Disk and elliptical galaxies within renormalization group improved
  gravity
  The paper is about possible effects of infrared quantum contributions to
General Relativity on disk and elliptical galaxies. The Renormalization Group
corrected General Relativity (RGGR model) is used to parametrize these quantum
effects. The new RGGR results presented here concern the elliptical galaxy NGC
4374 and the dwarf disk galaxy DDO 47. Using the effective approach to Quantum
Field Theory in curved background, one can argue that the proper RG energy
scale, in the weak field limit, should be related to the Newtonian potential.
In the context of galaxies, this led to a remarkably small variation of the
gravitational coupling G, while also capable of generating galaxy rotation and
dispersion curves of similar quality to the the best dark matter profiles
(i.e., the profiles that have a core).
