Consistency of Weyl's geometry as a framework for gravitation
Tóm tắt
Recent work, quoted in the introduction, concerning a scale covariant theory of gravitation and corresponding astrophysical tests, has called for a revival of the geometrical considerations put forward by Weyl half a century ago, together with a better understanding of the mathematical foundation of Weyl's geometry. The present paper is to be regarded as a contribution in that direction.
