Inflation in gauge theory of gravity with local scaling symmetry and quantum induced symmetry breaking
Motivated by the gauge theory of gravity with local scaling symmetry proposed recently in [1,2], we investigate whether the scalar field therein can be responsible for the inflation. We show that the classical theory would suffer from the difficulty that inflation can start but will never stop. We e...
