## TL;DR

This paper introduces a Weyl symmetry-based framework that explains cosmic inflation and dark matter, demonstrating the model's consistency with observations and identifying the Weyl gauge boson as a viable dark matter candidate.

## Contribution

It proposes a novel inflation and dark matter model based on Weyl symmetry, establishing the stability of the Weyl gauge boson and its potential as dark matter.

## Key findings

- Model aligns with current cosmological observations
- Weyl gauge boson is stable and can account for dark matter relic abundance
- Future experiments will further test the model's predictions

## Abstract

Motivated by the Weyl scaling gauge symmetry, we present a theoretical framework to explain cosmic inflation and dark matter simultaneously. This symmetry has been resurrected in recent attempts to formulate the gauge theory of gravity. We show the inspired inflation model is well consistent with current observations and will be probed further by future experiments. Furthermore, we clarify and prove the stability of Weyl gauge boson in the general theory with multiple scalars. We show the massive Weyl gauge boson can be a dark matter candidate and give the correct relic abundance.
