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 coordinate transformations, are they of the form [itex]\vec{x} \mapsto C(x^{\mu})\vec{x}[/itex], with [itex]C(x^{\mu})[/itex] a differentiable function?
Good evening to you all!
