The discussion focuses on the conformal flatness of the ellipsoid defined by the equation x^2 + a^2(y^2 + z^2) = 1. Local coordinates on the ellipsoid surface are established, leading to the induced metric from the Euclidean metric, which is expressed in terms of the coordinates. The derived pullback metric is given as γ = (1 + (a^4 ρ^2)/(1-a^2 ρ^2)) dρ^2 + ρ^2 dφ^2. The goal is to identify a non-zero function Ω that can transform the conformal metric Ω^2 γ_ij into a flat form resembling δ_ij. The discussion seeks an intuitive approach to achieve this transformation.

Consider the ellipsoid:$$\mathcal{Q} := \{ \mathbf{x} \in \mathbb{R}^3, \ x^2 + a^2(y^2 + z^2) = 1 \}$$We have local coordinates ##\chi^A = (\rho, \phi)## on the ellipsoid surface defined by ##y = \rho \cos{\phi}## and ##z = \rho \sin{\phi}##. First we look for the metric ##\gamma := \phi^{*} g## induced from the Euclidean metric, specifically:$$\gamma_{AB} = \frac{\partial x^{i}}{\partial \chi^A} \frac{\partial x^j}{\partial \chi^B} \delta_{ij}$$Using also that ##x(\rho, \phi) = \sqrt{1-a^2 \rho^2}##, I obtain that the pull back of the metric is:$$\gamma = \left( 1 + \frac{a^4 \rho^2}{1-a^2 \rho^2} \right) d\rho^2 + \rho^2 d\phi^2$$We want to find a non-zero function ##\Omega## such that the conformal metric ##\Omega^2 \gamma_{ij}## is flat, i.e. that there is some transformation that brings ##\Omega^2 \gamma_{ij}## into a form resembling ##\delta_{ij}##. I've had no luck with my guesses, but there must be an intuitive way of seeing this?
