Considering the conformal scaling gauge symmetry as a fundamental symmetry of nature in the presence of gravity, a scalar field is required and used to describe the scale behavior of universe. In order for the scalar field to be a physical…
The conformal transformation in the Einstein - Hilbert action leads to a new frame where an extra scalar degree of freedom is compensated by the local conformal-like symmetry. We write down a most general action resulting from such…
Our cosmology contains Big Bang relic fluctuations by a loss of time-translation symmetry on a Hubble time scale. The contribution to the vacuum is identified with dynamical dark energy $\Lambda\simeq \alpha_p\Lambda_0$ by an IR coupling…
A covariant modified gravity (MOG) is formulated by adding to general relativity two new degrees of freedom, a scalar field gravitational coupling strength $G= 1/\chi$ and a gravitational spin 1 vector field $\phi_\mu$. The $G$ is written…

Once a parity is introduced in unparticle physics, under which unparticle provided in a hidden conformal sector is odd while all Standard Model particles are even, unparticle can be a suitable candidate for the cold dark matter (CDM) in the…
Weyl conformal symmetry can solve the problem the spacetime singularities present in Einstein's gravity. In a recent paper, two of us have found a singularity-free rotating black hole solution in conformal gravity. In addition to the mass…
Motivated by the stability of the electroweak Higgs vacuum we consider the possibility that the Standard Model might work up to large scales between about $10^{10}$ GeV and close to the Planck scale. A plausible scenario is an emergent…
We study some observational consequences of a recently proposed scale--dependent cosmological model for an inhomogeneous Universe. In this model the Universe is pictured as being inside a highly dense and rapidly expanding shell with the…
We present the first full study of the minimal curvaton-higgs (MCH) model, which is a minimal interpretation of the curvaton scenario with one real scalar coupled to the standard model Higgs boson. The standard model coupling allows the…
The recently announced result by EDGES points an unexpected excess in the 21 cm global brightness temperature from cosmic dawn at $z\sim 17$, potentially indicating new phenomena beyond the $\Lambda$CDM model. A generic cosmological model…
We provide the full classification, in arbitrary even and odd dimensions, of global conformal invariants, i.e., scalar densities in the spacetime metric and its derivatives that are invariant, possibly up to a total derivative, under local…
Using standard Einstein theory, baryonic mass cannot account for observed galactic rotation velocities and gravitational lensing, attributed to galactic dark matter halos. In contrast, theory constrained by Weyl conformal scaling symmetry…
An exact solution was produced for one of the versions of conformal -invariant gravitation theories (conformal geometrodynamics - CG) for the body with a mass and an electric charge. The solution is analogous to the Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m…
We show that the local conformal group $C$ is a natural symmetry group of strong, electroweak and gravitational interactions. A model for these interactions invariant under the local symmetry group $G=SU(3)\times SU(2)_{L}\times U(1)\times…
We consider new models of dark energy with finite time future singularities, by introducing the pressure density as a function of the scale factor. This approach gives acceptable phenomenological models of dark energy, practically…
We propose a dynamical scenario beyond the standard model, in which the radiative correction to the Higgs mass parameter is suppressed due to a large anomalous dimension induced through a conformal invariant coupling with an extra gauge…
