Gravitational physics

fourth-order theory of gravity based on the square of the Weyl tensor, proposed to explain galactic rotation curves without dark matter.

In gravitational physics, conformal Weyl gravity refers to fourth-order theory of gravity based on the square of the Weyl tensor, proposed to explain galactic rotation curves without dark matter. This meaning comes from Mannheim (1989) in The Astrophysical Journal.[1]
