Local conformal symmetry in non-Riemannian geometry and the origin of physical scales

Abstract We introduce an extension of the Standard Model and General Relativity built upon the principle of local conformal invariance, which represents a generalization of a previous work by Bars, Steinhardt and Turok. This is naturally realized by adopting as a geometric framework a particular cla...
