Abstract

The 5-dimensional extension of cosmological special and general relativity is considered. In this framework it is possible to define a 5-dimensional perfect fluid stress-energy tensor and to unify the equations of perfect hydrodynamics in a single 5-dimensional tensor conservation law. This picture in principle permits to interpret particle production phenomena as cosmological effects, in the spirit of open system cosmology.
