The Decomposition of Global Conformal Invariants: Some Technical Proofs. I

Abstract:
This paper forms part of a larger work where we prove a conjecture of Deser and Schwimmer regarding the algebraic structure of “global conformal invariants”; these are defined to be conformally invariant integrals of geometric scalars. The conjecture asserts that the integrand of any such integral can be expressed as a linear
combination of a local conformal invariant, a divergence and of the Chern–Gauss–Bonnet integrand.
Keywords:
conormal geometry; renormalized volume; global invariants; Deser–Schwimmer conjecture.
