On the reconstruction of the Rotation Curve for Milky Way and its spacetime implications: a Machine Learning approach
We propose a machine learning-assisted analytical reconstruction of the Milky Way rotation curve and discuss its implications in a relativistic spacetime context. The rotation curve is reconstructed using 73 observational data points over the range 0.1-95.56 kpc, and we compare the performances of Ridge regression, LASSO regression, and feed-forward neural networks using a physically motivated functional basis. Ridge regression yields the most stable prediction with R2 = 0.9824 +/- 0.0064 and RMSE = 3.75 km/s, while retaining analytical interpretability. We embed the reconstructed velocity profile into a static, spherically symmetric spacetime, enabling the determination of the redshift function and the mass function through Einstein's equations. We verify that all energy conditions are satisfied, the sound speed remains subluminal, the circular orbits are stable, and the gravitational energy is negative, confirming the attractive nature of gravity. This framework provides a statistically validated, data-driven alternative to conventional dark matter halo models and establishes a direct connection between kinematical observables and relativistic spacetime geometry.
