Conformal form-invariant parametrization of scalar-tensor gravity theories: A critical analysis
Israel Quiros, Amit Kumar Rao
Based on the recent result that, if the masses of timelike fields are point-dependent fields themselves, the action of matter fields is conformal form-invariant in its standard for…

The Unknown Face of Scalar-Tensor Gravitational Theories
Israel Quiros, Amit Kumar Rao
It has long been demonstrated that the vacuum scalar-tensor theory in the Jordan-frame Brans-Dicke parametrization is form-invariant under conformal transformations, provided that…

Revisiting local-scale invariant gravitational theory
Israel Quiros
We revisit the conformally coupled scalar gravitational theory. This is the simplest local-scale invariant theory of gravity which is linear in the curvature scalar. We demonstrate…
