Conformally-modified gravity and vacuum energy

Abstract

The paper deals with a modified theory of gravity and the cosmological consequences. Instead of concerning the field equations directly, we modify a conformally-related and equivalent equation, such that a spontaneous symmetry breaking at Planck scale occurs in the trace equation. As the consequence the cosmological constant problem is solved.
