Gauging scale symmetry and inflation: Weyl versus Palatini gravity
Abstract We present a comparative study of inflation in two theories of quadratic gravity with gauged scale symmetry: (1) the original Weyl quadratic gravity and (2) the theory defined by a similar action but in the Palatini approach obtained by replacing the Weyl connection by its Palatini counterp...
