I would like to know what scale invariance is. The abstract doesn’t describe it, can anyone point to a good summary?

LMWTFY. Actually, I had read this and it wasn't helpful. There is nothing about how x -> lamba x passes through field equations for example, and yields an additional term that represents additional expansionary acceleration. Only the abstract from the paper is available in the OP link, I was wondering if anyone had insight into how these findings came about, generally.
