In VEP formalism the off-shell spin connection admits a one-parameter family of conformal transformations interpolating between Nieh-Yan and conformally invariant torsion; dynamically generated torsion lacks well-defined conformal properties and affects fermions and conformal scalars.

abstract
In this paper we consider an axial torsion to build metric-compatible connections in conformal gravity, with gauge potentials; the geometric background is filled with Dirac spinors: scalar fields with suitable potentials are added eventually. The system of field equations is worked out to have torsional effects converted into spinorial self-interactions: the massless spinors display self-interactions of a specific form that gives them the features they have in the non-conformal theory but with the additional character of renormalizability, and the mechanisms of generation of mass and cosmological constants become dynamical. As a final step we will address the cosmological constant and coincidence problems.

Different types of torsion and their effect on the dynamics of fields
In VEP formalism the off-shell spin connection admits a one-parameter family of conformal transformations interpolating between Nieh-Yan and conformally invariant torsion; dynamically generated torsion lacks well-defined conformal properties and affects fermions and conformal scalars.
