Topological Black Holes in Weyl Conformal Gravity
We present a class of exact solutions of Weyl conformal gravity, which have an interpretation as topological black holes. Solutions with negative, zero or positive scalar curvature at infinity are found, the former generalizing the wellknown topological black holes in anti-de Sitter gravity. The rather delicate question of thermodynamic properties of such objects in Weyl conformal gravity is di...
متن کاملCausal Structure of Vacuum Solutions to Conformal(Weyl) Gravity
Using Penrose diagrams the causal structure of the static spherically symmetric vacuum solution to conformal (Weyl) gravity is investigated. A striking aspect of the solution is an unexpected physical singularity at r = 0 caused by a linear term in the metric. We explain how to calculate the deflection of light in coordinates where the metric is manifestly conformal to flat i.e. in coordinates ...
متن کاملConformal mappings preserving the Einstein tensor of Weyl manifolds
In this paper, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for a conformal mapping between two Weyl manifolds to preserve Einstein tensor. Then we prove that some basic curvature tensors of $W_n$ are preserved by such a conformal mapping if and only if the covector field of the mapping is locally a gradient. Also, we obtained the relation between the scalar curvatures of the Weyl manifolds r...
متن کاملSpontaneous breaking of conformal invariance in theories of conformally coupled matter and Weyl gravity
We study the theory of Weyl conformal gravity with matter degrees of freedom in a conformally invariant interaction. Specifically, we consider a triplet of scalar fields and SO(3) non-abelian gauge fields, i.e. the Georgi-Glashow model conformally coupled to Weyl gravity. We show that the equations of motion admit solutions spontaneously breaking the conformal symmetry and the gauge symmetry, p...
متن کاملWeyl-Gauging and Conformal Invariance
Scale-invariant actions in arbitrary dimensions are investigated in curved space to clarify the relation between scale-, Weyland conformal invariance on the classical level. The global Weyl-group is gauged. Then the class of actions is determined for which Weyl-gauging may be replaced by a suitable coupling to the curvature (Ricci gauging). It is shown that this class is exactly the class of ac...
