A Riemannian or pseudo-Riemannian (or conformal) structure is conformally Einstein if and only if there is a suitably generic parallel section of a certain vector bundle -- the so-called standard conformal tractor bundle. We show that this…

For a conformally compact Poincar\'{e}-Einstein manifold $(X,g_+)$, we consider two types of compactifications for it. One is $\bar{g}=\rho^2g_+$, where $\rho$ is a fixed smooth defining function; the other is the adapted (including…
