Absence of gravitational polarization mechanism in the canonical bimetric theory

Abstract

Motivated by a version of the ``Dipolar Dark Matter'' model, that aims at a relativistic completion of the phenomenology of MOND, we investigate the gravitational polarization mechanism in the canonical bimetric theory with an effective matter coupling. We explicitly show the fundamental obstacle why such theories cannot achieve a consistent gravitational polarization, and thus fail to recover the MONDian phenomenology at low energies.
