Unimodular Constraint on global scale Invariance
  We study global scale invariance along with the unimodular gravity in the vacuum. The global scale invariant gravitational action which follows the unimodular general coordinate transformations is considered without invoking any scalar field. This is generalization of conformal theory described in the Ref. \cite{Mannheim}. The possible solutions for the gravitational potential under static linear field approximation are discussed. The new modified solution has additional corrections to the Schwarzschild solution which describe the galactic rotational curve. A comparative study of unimodular theory with conformal theory is also presented. Furthermore, the cosmological solution is studied and it is shown that the unimodular constraint preserve the de Sitter solution explaining the dark energy of the universe.
