Publications Top Noteย 

1. Conformal Theory of Gravitation and Cosmic Expansion

  • Author: R. K. Nesbet

  • Year: 2023 (arXiv), published in Symmetry in 2024

  • Citations: Currently very low (preprint shows ~1 citation)

  • Source: arXiv preprint (arXiv:2308.10399), final version published in MDPI journal Symmetry

  • Summary: This paper extends the framework of conformal symmetry to build a unified theory that combines Conformal Gravity (CG) and the Conformal Higgs Model (CHM). The author shows that this model explains galactic rotation curves and cosmic acceleration without requiring dark matter or dark energy. It further constrains the Higgs sector, proposing that the 125 GeV resonance observed experimentally might be due to gauge field interactions, not a Standard Model Higgs boson. The theory aligns with empirical laws such as the baryonic Tullyโ€“Fisher relation and predicts finite-size galactic halos based on non-classical gravitational effects.

2. Conformal Theory of Gravitation and Cosmology

  • Author: R. K. Nesbet

  • Year: 2020

  • Citations: Approximately 7 citations

  • Source: Published in Europhysics Letters (EPL)

  • Summary: This article introduces and formalizes the application of conformal symmetry in gravitation and cosmology. The gravitational theory replaces Einsteinโ€™s field equations with equations derived from the conformal Weyl tensor, leading to a solution that fits galactic rotation curves without dark matter. Simultaneously, the Conformal Higgs Model modifies the cosmological Friedmann equation to fit supernova-based Hubble expansion data, offering a single-parameter explanation for cosmic acceleration. The paper also addresses the radial acceleration relation observed in galaxies and predicts a definite boundary to galactic halos beyond which centripetal acceleration drops to zero.

3. Conformal Gravity: Newtonโ€™s Constant Is Not Universal

  • Author: R. K. Nesbet

  • Year: 2022

  • Source: EPL (Europhysics Letters)

  • Summary: This article argues that in the conformal framework, Newtonโ€™s gravitational constant emerges from spontaneous symmetry breaking and is not universally fixed. It challenges the standard cosmological modelโ€™s assumption of a constant G and suggests variability in gravitational coupling at galactic and cosmological scales.

4. Weyl Conformal Symmetry Model of the Dark Galactic Halo
