Abstract
For any hypersurface of a Riemannian manifold, recent works introduced the notions of extrinsic conformal Laplacians and extrinsic Q-curvatures. Here we announce explicit formulas for the extrinsic Paneitz operators P_4 and the corresponding extrinsic Q-curvatures for totally umbilic hypersurfaces in any dimension. Moreover, we state explicit formulas for the critical extrinsic P_4 and the total integral of the critical extrinsic Q_4 in the general case. This integral is a global conformal invariant. Finally, we establish an analog of the Alexakis-Deser-Schwimmer decomposition of the critical extrinsic Q_4.
