要旨:
We give a general definition of the conformal anomaly for theories that are
not classically Weyl invariant and show that this definition yields a quantity
that is both finite and local. As an example we study the conformal anomaly for
a non-minimally coupled massless scalar and show that our definition coincides
with results obtained using the heat kernel method.
