read the original 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Weyl's original scale geometry of 1918 ("purely infinitesimal geometry") was withdrawn by its author from physical theorizing in the early 1920s.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.

Scale-invariant Schr\"{o}dinger geometry in symmetric teleparallel gravity
A quadratic nonmetricity action of Schrödinger type is locally scale-invariant exactly when its Palatini connection equations admit the length-preserving Schrödinger connection.

Weyl gauge symmetry at LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA
In Weyl quadratic gravity linearized around de Sitter space, gravitational waves carry two tensor modes plus two transverse vector modes from the Weyl gauge field, with no scalar modes.

Conformal geometry as a gauge theory of gravity: covariant equations of motion & conservation laws
The most general Weyl-quadratic-gravity action yields manifestly gauge-covariant equations of motion, with energy-momentum and Weyl-current conservation holding in both the Weyl and Riemannian pictures.

Generalized Fefferman-Graham gauge and boundary Weyl structures
In the generalized Fefferman-Graham gauge, three-dimensional AdS gravity produces a boundary Weyl connection, a Weyl-covariant stress tensor and trace anomaly, and requires a new corner counterterm that fixes the Eucl...

Conformal symmetry, SM and Gravity
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 ...

The fall and the rise of Weyl gauge theory
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.

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.

Anomaly footprints in SM+Gravity
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.
