Virial theorem and gravitational equilibrium with a cosmological constant

Starting from the Newtonian limit of Einstein's equations in the presence of a positive cosmological constant, we obtain a new version of the virial theorem and a condition for gravitational equilibrium. Such a condition takes the form ρ > λρvac, where ρ is the mean density of an astrophysic...
