Book Summary
The central object of the book is Q-curvature. This important and subtle scalar
Riemannian curvature quantity was introduced by Tom Branson about 15 year ago in
connection with variational formulas for determinants of conformally covariant
differential operators. The book studies structural properties of Q-curvature
from an extrinsic point of view by regarding it as a derived quantity of certain
conformally covariant families of differential operators which are associated to
hypersurfaces. The new approach is at the cutting edge of central developments
in conformal differential geometry in the last two decades (Fefferman-Graham
ambient metrics, spectral theory on Poincare-Einstein spaces, tractor calculus,
Verma modules and Cartan geometry). The theory of
