The fall and the rise of Weyl gauge theory

D. M. Ghilencea

Weyl gauge theory has been revived as the only gauge theory of a spacetime symmetry with a physical gauge boson, exact geometric interpretation, and all scales of geometric origin.

Claims

C1strongest claim

This is the only gauge theory of a spacetime symmetry with a physical gauge boson, is Weyl anomaly-free, has exact geometric interpretation, with all scales of geometric origin, and generates Einstein-Hilbert action and a positive cosmological constant in its spontaneously broken phase.

C2weakest assumption

The assumption that the revived Weyl gauge theory truly provides an exact geometric interpretation and a physical gauge boson while remaining consistent with observations and quantum requirements, without hidden inconsistencies that plagued the 1918 version.

C3one line summary

Weyl gauge theory of gravity is revived as the only anomaly-free gauge theory of spacetime symmetry with a physical gauge boson, exact geometric interpretation, all scales of geometric origin, and it generates the Einstein-Hilbert action plus positive cosmological constant upon spontaneous breaking,
