During my seminar I'd like to recall construction of local conformal
invariant of metric in dimension n >= 3. In particular, the conformal
flatness of metric is equivalent to vanishing of certain tensorial
invariant.
Then I will show how conformal invariants can be applied to
differential equations. To a differential equation of certain type
one can assign a conformal class of metric. Property of this metric
can be translated to some property of the equation.
