The Weyl anomaly and the nature of the background geometry
Israel Quiros
The Weyl anomaly problem is treated within a purely geometrical context. Arguments are given that hint at a possible classical origin of the conformal anomaly in the Riemannian nat…
Axion-dilaton-modulus gravity theory of Brans-Dicke-type and conformal symmetry
Israel Quiros
Conformal symmetry is investigated within the context of axion-dilaton-modulus theory of gravity of Brans-Dicke-type. A distinction is made between general conformal symmetry and i…
String cosmology coupled to Weyl-integrable geometry
Israel Quiros
The requirement that the laws of physics must be invariant under point-dependent transformations of the units of length, time, and mass is used as a selection principle while study…
Transformations of units and world's geometry
Israel Quiros
The issue of the transformations of units is treated, mainly, in a geometrical context. It is shown that Weyl-integrable geometry is a consistent framework for the formulation of t…
Open universes and avoidance of the cosmological singularity
Israel Quiros, Rolando Cardenas, Rolando Bonal
In the present paper we give conclusive arguments pointing at physical equivalence among conformally related metrics. Based on the argument that any consistent effective theory of…
