Regarding Geometrization of MOND

Authors: Alireza Jamali

One of the candidates for a resolution of the problem of dark matter is the Modified Newtonian Dynamics, which modifies the Newtonian gravity so as to fit the data. One of the key open problems of this theory which can have important empirical consequences is that of its geometrization. In this note I argue that this problem has a simple solution: metric tensor in MOND is not the gravitational potential *itself.
