Curvature of a conformally Euclidean metric

ID: curvature-of-a-conformally-euclidean-metric

For a positive conformal factor in dimension , set . These are the coordinate components of the Schouten tensor. In the convention , the Riemann curvature tensor is . The orthonormal coframe has connection 1-forms ; substituting into Cartan's second structure equation proves this expression directly. Its contractions give and .
