Spontaneous breaking of Weyl quadratic gravity to Einstein action and Higgs potential
Abstract We consider the (gauged) Weyl gravity action, quadratic in the scalar curvature ( R ˜ $$ \tilde{R} $$ ) and in the Weyl tensor ( C ˜ μνρσ $$ {\tilde{C}}_{\mu \nu \rho \sigma} $$ ) of the Weyl conformal geometry. In the absence of matter fields, this action has spontaneous breaking in which...
