title: Weyl invariant standard model and its symmetry breaking
review text: This paper is concerned with the merging of two lines of reasoning: On the one side, a standard model theory for leptons including gravitation and formulated in a Weyl space considered together with the subsequent breaking of the dilatation degree of freedom and, on the other side, the attempt to understand various aspects of strong interactions in analogy to gravitation. Both approaches taken together lead to a Weyl invariant formulation of the standard model without introducing masses at the starting point, and with a subsequent explicit Weyl symmetry breaking yielding nonzero masses for several fields involved together with the form of gravitation in terms of a Riemannian metric.
