We show that this procedure of Weyl gauging yields a consistent generalization for a particular class of quadratic curvature gravity theories which includes the new massive gravity theory.pdfAstronomy and astrophysicsPhysics, particles and fieldsWeyl covariant quadratic curvature gravity in three-dimensional Riemann-Cartan-Weyl spacetimesJournal Article2470-0029https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.100.044010479192300003N/ANOIR01863
