Weyl scaling invariant R2 gravity for inflation and dark matter
Inflation in the early universe can generate the nearly conformal invariant fluctuation that leads to the structures we observe at the present. The simple viable Starobinsky R2 inflation has an approximate global scale symmetry. We study the conformal symmetric Weyl Rˆ2 and general F(Rˆ) theories an...
