abstract
Weyl's original scale geometry of 1918 ("purely infinitesimal geometry") was withdrawn by its author from physical theorizing in the early 1920s. It had a comeback in the last third of the 20th century in different contexts: scalar tensor theories of gravity, foundations of gravity, foundations of quantum mechanics, elementary particle physics, and cosmology. It seems that Weyl geometry continues to offer an open research potential for the foundations of physics even after the turn to the new millennium.

Jacobi and Lyapunov stability of circular orbits around Weyl gravity black holes depends on the free parameters in the metric solutions.
Weyl quadratic gauge gravity is anomaly-free, breaks via Stueckelberg to Einstein-Hilbert plus positive Lambda, and is the leading order of a regulator-free WDBI action that can include the SM.
