General Structure of the Gravitational Equations of Motion in Conformal Weyl Gravity
Abstract
A general method for determining the structure of the gravitational equations of motion is presented in the fourth-order theory of gravity based on local conformal Weyl invariance of the gravitational action. The explicit structure for these equations is given for a time-dependent, spherically symmetric geometry.
