The Ambient Obstruction Tensor and Q-Curvature
C. Robin Graham, Kengo Hirachi
Abstract
It is shown that the variational derivative of the integral of Branson's Q-curvature is the ambient obstruction tensor of Fefferman-Graham. A classification of irreducible conformally invariant tensors modulo quadratic and higher degree terms in curvature is established.
