Definition of the conformal metric

Let $(M,[g])$ be a conformal manifold; i.e. $(M,g)$ is a Riemannian manifold and $[g] = \{ u^2g \mathrel{}:\mathrel{} u \in C^\infty(M), u>0 \}$ is the set of Riemannian metrics conformal to $g$. It i …

Tensor component calculation

Start by writing $$ \tag{1}\label{1} B_{nn} = \nabla^\mu \nabla^\nu C_{\mu n n \nu} - \frac{1}{2}C_{\mu n n \nu}R^{\mu\nu} . $$ Here I abuse notation to write $\nabla^\mu\nabla^\nu C_{\mu n n \nu} = n …
