Radiative corrections in a 5D linear dilaton brane-world produce a long-lived massive graviton resonance and a holographic fluid, either or both of which can account for dark matter.

abstract
We study in a self-consistent way the impact of the emission of bulk gravitons on the (homogeneous) cosmology of a three-brane embedded in a five-dimensional spacetime. In the low energy regime, we recover the well known result that the bulk affects the Friedmann equation only via a radiation-like term $\C/a^4$, called dark or Weyl radiation. By contrast, in the high energy regime, we find that the Weyl parameter $\C$ is no longer constant but instead grows very rapidly as $\C\propto a^4$. As a consequence, the value of $\C$ today is not a free parameter as usually considered but is a fixed number, which, generically, depends only on the number of relativistic degrees of freedom at the high/low energy transition. Our estimated amount of Weyl radiation satisfies the present nucleosynthesis bounds.

Massive Graviton Dark Matter from a Gapped Continuum
Radiative corrections in a 5D linear dilaton brane-world produce a long-lived massive graviton resonance and a holographic fluid, either or both of which can account for dark matter.
