Weyl geometry is equivalent to Riemannian geometry of a non-local dressed metric g*_{\mu\nu} via Wilson lines, with the quadratic and WDBI actions taking the same form in the symmetric phase.

abstract
We discuss models involving two scalar fields coupled to classical gravity that satisfy the general criteria: (i) the theory has no mass input parameters, (ii) classical scale symmetry is broken only through $-\frac{1}{12}\varsigma \phi^2 R$ couplings where $\varsigma$ departs from the special conformal value of $1$; (iii) the Planck mass is dynamically generated by the vacuum expectations values (VEVs) of the scalars (iv) there is a stage of viable inflation associated with slow roll in the two--scalar potential; (v) the final vacuum has a small to vanishing cosmological constant and an hierarchically small ratio of the VEVs and the ratio of the scalar masses to the Planck scale. This assumes the paradigm of classical scale symmetry as a custodial symmetry of large hierarchies.

Weyl conformal geometry vs Riemannian geometry of Weyl gauge invariant dressed metric
Weyl geometry is equivalent to Riemannian geometry of a non-local dressed metric g*_{\mu\nu} via Wilson lines, with the quadratic and WDBI actions taking the same form in the symmetric phase.
