Planck and electroweak scales emerging from conformal gravity
Planck and electroweak scales emerging from conformal gravity
We show that both the Planck and electroweak mass scales can be generated from conformal gravity via the Coleman–Weinberg mechanism of dimensional transmutation. At the first step, the Planck scale is generated via the Coleman–Weinberg mechanism in the sector of conformal gravity, which means that radiative corrections associated with gravitons …
