Gravitation and broken scale invariance

Гравитация и нарущенная масщтабная инвариантность

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

We examine the consequences, in a simple scalar-field model, of the relation between the breaking of scale invariance and gravitation.

Riassunto

In un semplice modello con campo scalare si studiano le conseguenze della connessione tra la rottura dell’invarianza di scala e la gravitazione.

Реэюме

В рамках простой модели скалярного поля исследуются следствия соотнощения между нарущением масщтабной инвариантностью и гравитацией.
