ON THE GEOMETRIC EFFECT OF DARK MATTER

    We study the effect of the extrinsic curvature on the rotation curves within the context of brane-world, in a 5-d bulk with constant curvature. The covariant equations of motion for the brane-world are applied to determine the modified Newtonian potential approximation and the velocity curve. We consider a static disk galaxy which is composed only of ordinary visible matter. Using the Weyl static metric as a model, we find that the velocity curve is given by the square root of a small power of the radial distance to the galactic core.
