Higgs Potential from Weyl Conformal Gravity
Ichiro Oda
We consider Weyl's conformal gravity coupled to a complex matter field in Weyl geometry. It is shown that a Higgs potential naturally arises from a term in moving from…
On Restricted Weyl Symmetry
Ichiro Oda
We discuss the physics of a restricted Weyl symmetry in a curved space-time where a gauge parameter of Weyl transformation satisfies a constraint . First, we pres…
Planck scale from broken local conformal invariance in Weyl geometry
Ichiro Oda
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 fi…
Spontaneous Symmetry Breakdown of Scale Symmetries
Ichiro Oda
We discuss spontaneous symmetry breakdown (SSB) of both global and local scale symmetries in scalar-tensor gravity with two scalar fields, one of which couples nonminimally to scal…
Emergence of Einstein Gravity from Weyl Gravity
Ichiro Oda
It is shown that in a quadratic gravity based on Weyl's conformal geometry, not only the Einstein-Hilbert action emerges but also a Weyl gauge field becomes massive in the Weyl gau…
