Conformally-rescaled Schwarzschild metrics do not predict flat galaxy rotation curves

Abstract For conformally invariant gravity theories defined on Riemannian spacetime and having the Schwarzschild–de-Sitter (SdS) metric as a solution in the Einstein gauge, we consider whether one may conformally rescale this solution to obtain flat rotation curves, such as those observed in galaxie...
