A scale invariant, Weyl geometric, Lagrangian approach to cosmology is explored, with a a scalar field phi of (scale) weight -1 as a crucial ingredient besides classical matter \cite{Tann:Diss,Drechsler:Higgs}. For a particularly simple…
We present a classically equivalent reformulation of the Standard Model. In this framework, the Higgs doublet is recast as a $2\times2$ matrix and right-handed fermion singlets are organized into novel doublets. This restructuring reveals a…
In view of Ehlers-Pirani-Schild formalism, since 1972 Weyl geometries should be considered to be the most appropriate and complete framework to represent (relativistic) gravitational fields. We shall here show that in any given Lorentzian…
In this thesis, we attempt to gain a more complete insight into Double Layer Theories in Weyl Gravity. In order to do this, we first establish the premise of Weyls Theory, including its provenance, development and flaws. This is all…
We present a simple, systematic and practical method to construct conformally invariant equations in arbitrary Riemann spaces. This method that we call "Weyl-to-Riemann" is based on two features of Weyl geometry. i) A Weyl space is defined…
I state and prove, in the context of a space having only the metrical and affine structure imposed by the geometrized version of Newtonian gravitational theory, a theorem analagous to that of Weyl's for a Lorentz manifold. The theorem says…
A new geometry, called General geometry, is constructed. It is proven that its the most simplest special case is geometry underlying Electromagnetism. Another special case is Riemannian geometry. Action for electromagnetic field and Maxwell…
We show that in a quadratic gravity based on Weyl's conformal geometry, the Planck mass scale can be generated from quantum effects of the gravitational field and the Weyl gauge field via the Coleman-Weinberg mechanism where a local scale…
The background field method is used to linearize the Weyl invariant scalar-tensor gravity, coupled with a Stueckelberg field. For a generic background metric, this action is found to be not invariant, under both diffeomorphism and…
We investigate the relationship between quadratic gravity and a restricted Weyl symmetry where a gauge parameter $\Omega(x)$ of Weyl transformation satisfies a constraint $\Box \Omega = 0$ in a curved space-time. First, we briefly review a…
While it is generally agreed that the nature of spacetime must be drastically different at the Planck scale, it has been a common practice to assume that spacetime is endowed with a full pseudo-Riemannian geometry regardless of the physical…
In this talk notes we expose the possibility to induce the cosmological constant from extra dimensions, in a geometrical framework where our four-dimensional Riemannian space-time is embedded into a five-dimensional Weyl integrable space.…
We investigated the possibility of construction the homogeneous and isotropic cosmological solutions in Weyl geometry. We derived the self-consistency condition which ensures the conformal invariance of the complete set of equations of…
When joined the unified gauge picture of fundamental interactions, the gravitation theory leads to geometry of a space-time which is far from simplicity of pseudo-Riemannian geometry of Einstein's General Relativity. This is geometry of the…
We study the evolution of the Weyl curvature invariant in all spatially homogeneous universe models containing a non-tilted gamma-law perfect fluid. We investigate all the Bianchi and Thurston type universe models and calculate the…
We study a host of spacetimes where the Weyl curvature may be expressed algebraically in terms of an Abelian field strength. These include Type D spacetimes in four and higher dimensions which obey a simple quadratic relation between the…
The Weyl$-$Yang gravitational gauge theory is investigated in the structure of a pure higher-dimensional non-Abelian Kaluza$-$Klein background. We construct the dimensionally reduced field equations and stress-energy-momentum tensors as…
We study the double-copy relation between classical solutions in gauge theory and gravity, focusing on four-dimensional vacuum metrics of algebraic type D, a class that includes several important solutions. We present a double copy of…
In this paper we demonstrate how, using the coset construction, a theory can be systematically made Weyl invariant by gauging the scale symmetry. We show that an analog of the inverse Higgs constraint allows the elimination of the Weyl…
In this paper we derive 4-dimensional General Relativity from three dimensions, using the intrinsic spatial geometry inherent in Yang--Mills theory which has been exposed by previous authors as well as as some properties of the Ashtekar…
