摘要:
我们描述了一个初等算法,表达,作为明确的公式在拖拉机演算,共形不变的GJMS运营商由于C.R.格雷厄姆等人。这些微分算子的主要部分是拉普拉斯算子的幂。共形拖拉机演算是与共形Cartan联络相关联的自然诱导丛演算。讨论的应用包括这些运营商的Levi-Civita连接和它的曲率和T的直接定义和公式的标准公式。布兰森的所谓的Q-曲率(它集成到一个全球共形不变量)以及概括的运营商和Q-曲率。在例子中,4,6和8阶算子和相关的Q-曲率显式处理。该算法利用周围的度量建设的February man和格雷厄姆,并包括一个程序转换成拖拉机演算表达式的环境曲率和协变导数。这部分是基于“标准拖拉机和保形环境度量结构”(A。Cap和A.R. Gover,math.DG/0207016),其中描述了正常标准牵引车束与环境构造的关系。
英文摘要:
We describe an elementary algorithm for expressing, as explicit formulae in tractor calculus, the conformally invariant GJMS operators due to C.R. Graham et alia. These differential operators have leading part a power of the Laplacian. Conformal tractor calculus is the natural induced bundle calculus associated to the conformal Cartan connection. Applications discussed include standard formulae for these operators in terms of the Levi-Civita connection and its curvature and a direct definition and formula for T. Branson's so-called Q-curvature (which integrates to a global conformal invariant) as well as generalisations of the operators and the Q-curvature. Among examples, the operators of order 4, 6, and 8 and the related Q-curvatures are treated explicitly. The algorithm exploits the ambient metric construction of Fefferman and Graham and includes a procedure for converting the ambient curvature and its covariant derivatives into tractor calculus expressions. This is partly based on "Standard tractors and the conformal ambient metric construction" (A. Cap and A.R. Gover, math.DG/0207016), where the relationship of the normal standard tractor bundle to the ambient construction is described.
