contents We investigate the gluon gravitational form factors of the $π$, $N$, $ρ$, and $Δ$ using lattice QCD data at $m_π\approx 450 \text{MeV}$ and $m_π\approx 170 \text{MeV}$. We base the analysis on fits to a simple $σ/f_0(500)$-meson pole, supplemented by a polynomial background term. The fitted residues agree with predictions from dilaton effective theory, in which the $σ$-meson acts as the dilaton, the pseudo Goldstone boson of spontaneously broken scale symmetry. We derive new dilaton-based predictions for the $ρ$- and $Δ$-gravitational form factors, and comment on the $η_{c}$- and $η_b$-form factors in the context of the dilaton interpretation. These results reinforce our earlier findings, based on lattice total (quark and gluon) gravitational form factors, and provide further evidence that QCD dynamics may be governed by an infrared fixed point.
