Comment on Papers by Foot, Kobakhidze, McDonald and Volkas Relating to Scale Invariance Symmetry
arXiv:0712.2487
Abstract
We point out that the works described by Foot et al. in arXiv:0706.1829 [hep-ph] and arXiv:0709.2750 [hep-ph] are derivatives of our work described in arXiv:hep-th/0403039, the extended version of which was published in "Standard Model and SU(5) GUT with Local Scale Invariance and the Weylon", AIP Conf. Proc. 881 (2007) pp. 82, Melville, New York, 2006. We are wondering how many motions (and publications!) they will go through before finally admitting that they have re-discovered our model, and of course, as is the usual practice these days, claiming afterwards to the world of their independent arrival at our model. Reference to our original work is long overdue.
