TL;DR

This paper extends the conformal theory of metric-torsional gravitation by incorporating gauge fields, demonstrating how torsional degrees of freedom induce conformal gauge symmetry breaking with potential physical implications.

Contribution

It introduces a conformal Standard Model within a metric-torsional gravity framework, highlighting the role of torsion in dynamical symmetry breaking.

Findings

Torsional degrees of freedom generate a potential for symmetry breaking.

The conformal gauge theory includes U(1) and SU(2) gauge fields.

Implications for conformal symmetry breaking discussed.

Abstract

In recent papers we have constructed the conformal theory of metric-torsional gravitation, and in this paper we shall include the gauge fields to study the conformal U(1) X SU(2) Standard Model; we will show that the metric-torsional degrees of freedom give rise to a potential of conformal-gauge dynamical symmetry breaking: consequences are discussed.
