Hello, I was wondering what the exact definition of conformal transformations is. This is a question in the context of Shape Dynamics. In Shape dynamics, time is viewed as a global parameter of the universe, and as such is invariant under spatial coordinate transformation. Part of the...

Hello, I'm wondering what the exact definition of a local conformal transformation is, in the context of General Relativity (/Shape Dynamics) To be more precise: 1. Are local conformal transformations coordinate transformations or scalar transformations of the metric? 2. If they are...
