The necessary and sufficient condition for $\textbf{global}$ conformal flatness of a n-dim generalized Riemannian manifold

There is a theorem :

  1. 2-dim generalized Riemannian manifold must be local conformal flat;

  2. 3-dim generalized Riemannian manifold is local conformal flat iff the Cotton tensor vanishes.

  3. n-dim (n>3) generalized Riemannian manifold is local conformal flat iff the Weyl tensor vanished.

Then I'm curious about the necessary and sufficient condition for $\textbf{global}$ conformal flatness of a n-dim generalized Riemannian manifold.
