Abstract

The weak lensing of cosmic web filaments is investigated in modified gravity (MOG) and it is demonstrated that the detected galaxies and baryonic gas of order 5-15 % in filaments can with the enhanced value of the strength of gravity agree with the lensing data for filaments without dark matter.
