In this paper, Sylos Labini and collaborators introduce the dark matter disk model, which provides a new interpretation of the dynamics of disk galaxies. The motivation behind this model stems from the observed inconsistency between the observed flat rotation curves of spiral galaxies and the expected Keplerian decline based on the luminous matter in the galactic disk. Traditionally, this discrepancy has led to the conclusion that massive spherical dark halos dominate the gravitational dynamics of spiral galaxies.
