چکیده
In this note, we study some conformal invariants of a Riemannian manifold (M(n), g) equipped with a smooth measure m. In particular, we show that there is a natural definition of the Ricci and scalar curvatures associated to such a space, both of which are conformally invariant. We also adapt the methods of Fefferman and Graham [Fefferman, C. & Graham, C. R. (1985) Astérisque, Numero Hors Serie, 95-116] and Graham, Jenne, Mason, and Sparling [Graham, C. R., Jenne, R., Mason, L. J., & Sparling, G. A. J. (1992) J. London Math. Soc. 46, 557-565] to construct families of conformally covariant operators defined on these spaces. Certain variational problems in this setting are considered, including a generalization of the Einstein-Hilbert action.

Conformal Invariants Associated to a Measure, I: Pointwise Invariants
In this paper we study Riemannanian manifolds (M, g) equipped with a smooth measure m. In particular, we show that Riemannian invariants of (M, g) give rise to conformal densities of the Riemannian measure space (M, g,m). This leads to a natural definition of the Ricci and scalar curvatures of RM -spaces, both of which are conformally invariant. We also study some natural variational integrals.
متن کاملConformal Invariants Associated to a Measure: Conformally Covariant Operators
In this paper we study Riemannian manifolds (M, g) equipped with a smooth measure m. In particular, we show that the construction of conformally covariant operators due to Graham-Jenne-Mason-Sparling can be adapted to this setting. As a by-product, we define a family of scalar curvatures, one of which corresponds to Perelman’s scalar curvature function. We also study the variational problem nat...
متن کاملKnot invariants from rational conformal field theories
A framework for studying knot and link invariants from any rational conformal field theory is developed. In particular, minimal models, superconformal models and WN models are studied. The invariants are related to the invariants obtained from the Wess-Zumino models associated with the coset representations of these models. Possible Chern-Simons representation of these models is also indicated....

In this paper we continue to study Riemannian manifolds (M, g) equipped with a smooth measure m. In particular, we show that the construction of conformally covariant operators due to Graham-Jenne-Mason-Sparling can be adapted to this setting. As a by-product, we define a family of scalar curvatures, one of which corresponds to Perelman’s scalar curvature function. We also study the variational...
متن کاملBraided Subfactors, Spectral Measures, Planar algebras and Calabi-Yau algebras associated to SU (3) modular invariants
Braided subfactors of von Neumann algebras provide a framework for studying two dimensional conformal field theories and their modular invariants. We review this in the context of SU(3) conformal field theories through corresponding SU(3) braided subfactors and various subfactor invariants including spectral measures for the nimrep graphs, A2-planar algebras and almost Calabi-Yau algebras.
