Scientific paper

We outline a program with the potential to solve both the cosmological constant and quantum gravity problems within a single, comprehensive framework, one that is formulated entirely in four spacetime dimensions. The program is based on an interplay between the dynamical symmetry breaking of particle physics and a gravity theory, conformal gravity, which possesses an underlying local conformal invariant structure. Central to the discussion is the recognition that when symmetry is broken dynamically in a conformal invariant theory, the cosmological constant is both induced by and constrained by zero-point fluctuations. We describe what still needs to be done.
