Cosmological Consequences of Conformal General Relativity

TL;DR

This paper explores a conformal-invariant theory of gravity that offers new explanations for the universe's arrow of time, initial conditions, dark matter, and cosmic acceleration, differing from standard general relativity.

Contribution

It introduces a conformal-invariant unified theory equivalent to general relativity, providing novel insights into key cosmological problems.

Findings

Offers a new explanation for the arrow of time.

Provides alternative views on initial cosmic data.

Addresses dark matter and universe acceleration within the conformal framework.

Abstract

We consider cosmological consequences of a conformal-invariant unified theory which is dynamically equivalent to general relativity and is given in a space with the geometry of similarity. We show that the conformal-invariant theory offers new explanations for to such problems as the arrow of time, initial cosmic data, dark matter and accelerating evolution of the universe in the dust stage.
