Causal 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 کاملStatic spherically symmetric solutions for conformal gravity in three dimensions
Static spherically symmetric solutions for conformal gravity in three dimensions are found. Black holes and wormholes are included within this class. Asymptotically the black holes are spacetimes of arbitrary constant curvature, and they are conformally related to the matching of different solutions of constant curvature by means of an improper conformal transformation. The wormholes can be con...
متن کاملGauge choice and geodetic deflection in conformal gravity
Conformal gravity has been proposed as an alternative theory of gravity which can account for flat galactic rotation curves without recourse to copious quantities of dark matter. However it was shown that for the usual choice of the metric, the result is catastrophic for null or highly relativistic geodesics, the effect is exactly the opposite yielding an effective repulsion and less deflection...
متن کاملOn the Conformal Gauge of a Compact Metric Space
In this article we study the Ahlfors regular conformal gauge of a compact metric space (X, d), and its conformal dimension dimAR(X, d). Using a sequence of finite coverings of (X, d), we construct distances in its Ahlfors regular conformal gauge of controlled Hausdorff dimension. We obtain in this way a combinatorial description, up to bi-Lipschitz homeomorphisms, of all the metrics in the gaug...
متن کاملOn Tee Stability of Background Solutions in Conformal Gravity.*
In the context of conformal gravity with spontaneously broken local conformal invariance we prove a non-renormalization theorem for any fixed value of the cosmological constant and we study the classical stability of the background solutions which correspond to maximally symmetric spaces. (Published in Nuclear Physics B261 (1985) pp. 157-171) * Work supported in part by the Department of Energy...
