Early universe nucleosynthesis in massive conformal gravity
F. F. Faria
We study the dynamics of the early universe in massive conformal gravity. In particular, we show that the theory is consistent with the observed values of the primordial abundances…
Gravitational waves in massive conformal gravity
F. F. Faria
First, we obtain the plane wave solution of the linearized massive conformal gravity field equations. It is shown that the theory has seven physical plane waves. In addition, we in…
Conformal theory of everything
F. F. Faria
By using conformal symmetry we unify the standard model of particle physics with gravity in a consistent quantum field theory which describes all the fundamental particles and forc…
Comment on "Astrophysical gravitational waves in conformal gravity"
F. F. Faria
Recently, in Phys. Rev. D 98, 084002 (2018), an investigation was carried out on the gravitational radiation from binary systems in conformal gravity and massive conformal gravity.…
Probing the unitarity of the renormalizable theory of massive conformal gravity
F. F. Faria
The presence of an unstable massive spin-2 ghost state in the renormalizable theory of massive conformal gravity leads to a pair of complex poles appearing in the first sheet of th…
On the vDVZ discontinuity in massive conformal gravity
F. F. Faria
By taking the massless limit of linearized massive conformal gravity coupled to a source, we show that the theory is free from the vDVZ discontinuity. This result is confirmed when…
Reply to "Comment on 'Quantum massive conformal gravity' by F. F. Faria"
F. F. Faria
Recently in (Eur. Phys. J. C 76:341, 2016) [arXiv:1604.08706], Myung has suggested that the renormalizability of massive conformal gravity is meaningless unless the massive ghost s…
Solar system tests for massive conformal gravity
F. F. Faria
We find the linearized gravitational field of a static spherically symmetric mass distribution in massive conformal gravity and test it with some solar system experiments. The resu…

We first find the linear approximation of the second plus fourth order derivative massive conformal gravity action. Then we reduce the linearized action to separated second order d…

F. F. Faria
In this paper we find the cosmological solutions of the massive conformal gravity field equations in the presence of matter fields. In particular, we show that the solution of nega…
Massive conformal gravity
F. F. Faria
In this article we construct a massive theory of gravity that is invariant under conformal transformations. The massive action of the theory depend on the metric tensor and a scala…
A new geometrical approach to metric-affine gravity
F. F. Faria
Here we consider a metric-affine theory of gravity in which the gravitational Lagrangian is the scalar curvature. The matter action is allowed to depend also on the torsion and the…

J. W. Maluf, F. F. Faria
We develop a geometrical framework that allows to obtain the electromagnetic field quantities in accelerated frames. The frame of arbitrary accelerated observers in space-time is d…

We analyze the construction of conformal theories of gravity in the realm of teleparallel theories. We first present a family of conformal theories which are quadratic in the torsi…

J. W. Maluf, S. C. Ulhoa, F. F. Faria
We develop some ideas discussed by E. Schucking [arXiv:0803.4128] concerning the geometry of the gravitational field. First, we address the concept according to which the gravitati…
On reference frames in spacetime and gravitational energy in freely falling frames
J. W. Maluf, F. F. Faria, S. C. Ulhoa
We consider the interpretation of tetrad fields as reference frames in spacetime. Reference frames may be characterized by an antisymmetric acceleration tensor, whose components ar…

We present a continuity equation for the gravitational energy-momentum, which is obtained in the framework of the teleparallel equivalent of general relativity. From this equation…
