Duplicate of Conformal transformation/ Weyl scaling are they two different things? Confused! | |

| Sep 20, 2015 at 14:21 | comment | added | ACuriousMind♦ | Read this answer to the question I linked. Wald uses non-standard terminology and calls a Weyl transformation a "conformal transformation". The "standard" meaning of "conformal transformation" is indeed that it is a coordinate transformation. | |
| Sep 20, 2015 at 14:18 | comment | added | JQ Skywalker | @ACuriousMind I have seen that before..The explanations in that also mainly separate into two different opinions. One try to convince people that CT is a coordinate transformation and it is different from Weyl transformation. Another said that CT is not coordinate transformation... Why there are two completely different views. Or maybe both of them are adoptable in understanding? | |
