abstract

We present the BRST formalism of a Weyl conformal gravity in Weyl geometry. Choosing the extended de Donder gauge-fixing condition (or harmonic gauge condition) for the general coordinate invariance and the new scalar gauge-fixing for the Weyl invariance we find that there is a Poincar${\rm{\acute{e}}}$-like $\IOSp(10|10)$ supersymmetry as in a Weyl invariant scalar-tensor gravity in Riemann geometry. We also point out that there is a gravitational conformal symmetry in quantum gravity although there is a massive Weyl gauge field as a result of spontaneous symmetry breakdown of Weyl gauge symmetry and account for how the gravitational conformal symmetry is spontaneously broken to the Poincar\'e symmetry. The corresponding massless Nambu-Goldstone bosons are the graviton and the dilaton. We also prove the unitarity of the physical S-matrix on the basis of the BRST quartet mechanism.

    A Weyl-invariant SM+mirror-dark-matter+gravity model is developed via algebraic renormalization; its conformal cohomology is claimed trivial, and the required counterterms could — the author concedes not conclusively ...

    hep-th 2025-10 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A mirror right-handed copy of the standard model, sharing only gravity and SU(2), is claimed to be anomaly-free, proposed as dark matter, and wrapped in a Weyl-invariant early-universe solution.
