چکیده
This paper describes the connection between scattering matrices on conformally compact asymptotically Einstein manifolds and conformally invariant objects on their boundaries at infinity. This connection is a manifestation of the general principle that the far field phenomena on a conformally compact Einstein manifold are related to conformal theories on its boundary at infinity. This relationship was proposed in [5] as a means of studying conformal geometry, and the principle forms the basis of the AdS/CFT correspondence in quantum gravity – see [16],[26],[12],[10] and references given there. We first define the basic objects discussed here. By a conformal structure on a compact manifold M we mean an equivalence class [h] determined by a metric representative h:

متن کاملQ-curvature and Poincaré Metrics
This article presents a new definition of Branson’s Q-curvature in even dimensional conformal geometry. The Q-curvature is a generalization of the scalar curvature in dimension 2: it satisfies an analogous transformation law under conformal rescalings of the metric and on conformally flat manifolds its integral is a multiple of the Euler characteristic. Our approach is motivated by the recent w...
