2. Premise of this talk: Dark energy and dark matter contribute comparable amounts of mass energy This begs the question: Could they be different aspects of the same physical phenomenon? Appearing Dark Matter Viscous/Decaying Dark Matter Relativistic Corrections to Friedmann Cosmology

3. 3 Bulk Dimension m0m0 Z The flow of matter back into the 3-brane will appear as spontaneous matter creation Fixed point solution => a constant energy density as the universe expands Dark Energy may be caused by t he inflow of dark matter from the bulk to our 3-space in 5 dimensional gravity m0m0 m0m0 Umezu, Ichiki, Kajino, Mathews, Yahiro PRD, 73 063527 (2006)

Fuller, UC San Diego PRD in press/ astro-ph/0609687 1.Decaying dark matter leads to dissipative bulk viscosity in the cosmic fluid 2.This viscosity may account for some or all of the apparent cosmic acceleration

10. Viscous Dark Matter Weinberg (1971) Bulk Viscosity Negative pressure => Dark Energy

11. Need a Physical Model for Bulk Viscosity If a gas is out of pressure equilibrium as it expands or contracts a bulk viscosity is generated Particle decay : Pressureless DM  relativistic particles P =  /3 Out of temperature and pressure equilibrium => Dissipation & Bulk Viscosity

12. During decay: matter and relativistic particles are out of pressure and temperature equilibrium  = 3  h  eq [(1/3) - (∂P/  ]  eq =  0   P(  )/  P(0)dt =  /(1 + 3  H) Need (∂P/  ) ~ P/   1/3 P = (  l +   ) /3  =  DM +  b +  h +   +  l Weinberg (1971)

16. 16 Dark Energy Could be Correction for Non-Friedmannian Clumpy Cosmology Kolb et al. PRD, 71, 023524 2006, astro-ph/0506534 In a clumpy universe the motion there are acceleration terms

17. 17 Schools of Thought: This cannot produce Acceleration: (e.g.. Siegel & Fry 2005; Ishibashi & Wald 2006) Needs to be tested without recourse to perturbative schemes or special symmetry This can produce acceleration: Kolb 2005; 2006 This fits the luminosity-distance relation in special symmetric (e.g. Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi ) models : Barausse et al. 2005; Celerier 2000; Menim et al. 2005a;b; Alnes, Amarzguioui, and Gron 2005; Enqvist & Mattsson 2006; Garfinkle 2006; Moffit 2006; Szydowski & Godowski 2006)

20. 20 Conclusions The challenge of accounting for dark matter and dark energy makes for an exciting time in relativity physics and cosmology

22. Is it vacuum energy? Is it Geometry?

26. Parametrize EOS in Bulk Only works if: q < 3 Dark Matter is increasing T 0 5 =(  H/2)(  /a q ) q = 3 Normal matter, q = 4 Relativistic matter q = 1 Strings q = 0 Dark energy Best fit:  = 7.6, q = 1.0,  DM +  E = 0.26  DM = 3.1,  =0

28. Why this does not work  tot falls off too rapidly with time Need constant  tot

29. Bulk Viscosity can fit the SNIa redshift relation A = 8  G  /H 0 Fabris et al. 2005 astro- ph/0503362
