Softly broken conformal symmetry with quantum gravitational corrections

We show that a previously proposed new mechanism to eliminate quadratic divergences for scalar masses is self-consistently compatible with corrections induced by perturbative quantum gravity, provided the theory embeds consistently into a UV completion at the Planck scale. Keywords: Quantum field th...
