 Bosonic sigma-model Weyl anomaly coefficients

To first order in ${\alpha }^{\prime }$, the conventional Euclidean dilaton coupling gives ${\overline{\beta }}_{\mu \nu }^G={\alpha }^{\prime }[R_{\mu \nu }-H_{\mu \rho \sigma }{H}_{\nu }{}^{\rho \sigma }/4+2{\nabla }_{\mu }{\nabla }_{\nu }\Phi ]$ and ${\overline{\beta }}_{\mu \nu }^B={\alpha }^{\prime }[-{\nabla }^{\rho }{H}_{\rho \mu \nu }/2+({\nabla }^{\rho }\Phi )H_{\rho \mu \nu }]$. The scalar coefficient is $(d-26)/6+{\alpha }^{\prime }[(\nabla \Phi {)}^2-{\nabla }^2\Phi /2-H^2/24]$. Here $H$ is the Kalb-Ramond field strength. Vanishing of these coefficients, including higher-order corrections, is the background-field condition for quantum Weyl transformations to remain a gauge symmetry. The scalar coefficient includes the central charge deficit and is not implied by the metric equation alone.
