Nonlinearly Realized Local Scale Invariance: Gravity and Matter
That the scalar field theories with no dimensional couplings possess local scale invariance (LSI) via the curvature gauging is utilized to show that the Goldstone boson, released by the spontaneous LSI breakdown, is swallowed by the spacetime curvature in order to generate Newton’s constant in the same spirit as the induction of vector boson masses via spontaneous gauge symmetry breaking. For E...
متن کاملDark Matter and Scale Invariance
We point out that the vector meson S first proposed by Weyl on the basis of scale invariance is a candidate for dark matter. As colliders are being built with the creation of dark matters among the stated goals, we wish to point out that one of the possible candidates of dark matter is the vector meson S first conceived by Weyl on the basis of scale invariance. Weyl made the mistake of identify...
متن کاملLattice Theories with Nonlinearly Realized Chiral Symmetry
We present the lattice formulation of effective Lagrangians in which chiral symmetry is realized nonlinearly on the fermion fields. In this framework both the Wilson term removing unphysical doubler fermions and the fermion mass term do not break chiral symmetry. Our lattice formulation allows us to address non-perturbative questions in effective theories of baryons interacting with pions and i...
متن کاملLocal scale invariance, conformal invariance and dynamical scaling
Building on an analogy with conformal invariance, local scale transformations consistent with dynamical scaling are constructed. Two types of local scale invariance are found which act as dynamical space-time symmetries of certain non-local free field theories. Physical applications include uniaxial Lifshitz points and ageing in simple ferromagnets. Scale invariance is a central notion of moder...
متن کاملLocal Scale Invariance and General Relativity
According to the theory of unimodular relativity developed by Anderson and Finkelstein, the equations of general relativity with a cosmological constant are composed of two independent equations, one which determines the null-cone structure of space-time, another which determines the measure structure of space-time. The field equations that follow from the restricted variational principle of th...
