Scale-invariant gravity II: Geometrodynamics
Year: 2003
Type: preprint
Abstract: Recently a scale invariant theory was constructed by imposing a conformal symmetry on general relativity. The imposition of this symmetry changed the configuration space from superspace- the space of all Riemannian 3-metrics modulo diffeomorphisms- to conformal superspace- the space of all Riemannian 3-metrics modulo diffeomorphisms and conformal transformations. However, despite numerous attractive features, the theory suffers from at least one major problem: the volume of the universe is no longer a dynamical variable. In attempting to resolve this problem a new theory is
