The Decomposition of Global Conformal Invariants: Some Technical Proofs. I

This paper forms part of a larger work where we prove a conjecture of Deser and Schwimmer regarding the algebraic structure of ''global conformal invariants''; these are defined to be conformally invariant integrals of geometric scalars. The conjecture asserts that the integrand...

This paper forms part of a larger work where we prove a conjecture of Deser and Schwimmer regarding the algebraic structure of ''global conformal invariants''; these are defined to be conformally invariant integrals of geometric scalars. The conjecture asserts that the integrand of any such integral can be expressed as a linear combination of a local conformal invariant, a divergence and of the Chern-Gauss-Bonnet integrand.
This work has absorbed the best part of the author’s energy over many years. This research was partially conducted during the period the author served as a Clay Research Fellow, an MSRI postdoctoral fellow, a Clay Liftof f fellow and a Procter Fellow. The author is immensely indebted to Charles Fef ferman for devoting twelve long months to the meticulous proof-reading of the present paper. He also wishes to express his gratitude to the Mathematics Department of Princeton University for its support during his work on this project
