Broken Weyl - Invariance and the Origin of Mass
A massless Weyl-invariant dynamics of a scalar, a Dirac spinor, and electromagnetic fields is formulated in a Weyl space, W4, allowing for conformal rescalings of the metric and of all fields with nontrivial Weyl weight together with the associated transformations of the Weyl vector fields κμ representing the D(1) gauge fields with D(1) denoting the dilatation group. To study the appearance of ...
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...
متن کاملWeyl Group Invariance and p - brane
In this paper, we study the actions of the Weyl groups of the U duality groups for type IIA string theory toroidally compactified to all dimensions D ≥ 3. We show how these Weyl groups implement permutations of the field strengths, and we discuss the Weyl group multiplets of all supersymmetric p-brane solitons.
متن کاملGenerating Einstein gravity, cosmological constant and Higgs mass from restricted Weyl invariance
Recently, it has been pointed out that dimensionless actions in four dimensional curved spacetime possess a symmetry which goes beyond scale invariance but is smaller than full Weyl invariance. This symmetry was dubbed restricted Weyl invariance. We show that starting with a restricted Weyl invariant action that includes a Higgs sector with no explicit mass, one can generate the Einstein-Hilber...
متن کاملWeyl invariance and the conductivity of the protoinflationary plasma
We consider a globally neutral Lorentzian plasma as a possible remnant of a preinflationary stage of expansion and pose the problem of the suitable initial conditions for the evolution of the large-scale electromagnetic inhomogeneities. During the protoinflationary regime, the Weyl invariance of the Ohmic current guarantees that the comoving conductivity is approximately constant. The subsequen...
