Extrinsic curvature and conformal Gauss–Bonnet for four-manifolds with corner

Extrinsic curvature and conformal Gauss–Bonnet for four-manifolds with corner

This paper defines two new extrinsic curvature quantities on the corner of a four-dimensional Riemannian manifold with corner. One of these is a pointwise conformal invariant, and the conformal transformation of the other is governed by a new linear second-order pointwise conformally invariant partial differential operator. The Gauss-Bonnet theorem is …
