 Suppose throughout that $M^n$ is a manifold with two conformal Riemannian metrics $\widetilde{g} = e^{2\phi}g$. Suppose throughout that $M^n$ is a manifold with two conformal Riemannian metrics $\widetilde{g} = e^{2\phi}g$.
  
Line 7: Line 9:
 Thus at $p$, Thus at $p$,
 \begin{align*} \begin{align*}
-\mathrm{vol}(\widetilde{g}) &= \sqrt{(e^{2\phi})^n} \mathrm{d}x^1 \wedge \cdots \wedge \mathrm{d}x^n \\+\mathrm{vol}(\widetilde{g}) &= \sqrt{\mathrm{det} \widetilde{g}}\, \mathrm{d}x^1 \wedge \cdots \wedge \mathrm{d}x^n \\

 &= e^{\phi n} \mathrm{vol}(g). &= e^{\phi n} \mathrm{vol}(g).
