    The use of the scattering theory gives very deep results in geometry [see, for example, \textit{R. B. Melrose}, Geometric scattering theory, Stanford Lectures. Cambridge Univ. Press (1995; Zbl 0849.58071)]. The existence and the properties of the Poisson operator and the scattering matrix are related to some results of \textit{R. R. Mazzeo} and \textit{R. B. Melrose} [J. Funct. Anal. 75, 260-310 (1987; Zbl 0636.58034)]. The connection between scattering matrices on conformally compact asymptotically Einstein manifolds and conformally invariant objects on their boundaries at infinity is described in the paper under review. The general principle of this connection was previously proposed by the first author in the study of conformal geometry and it is used basically in the AdS/CFT correspondence in quantum gravity [see, for example, \textit{C. R. Graham} and \textit{E. Witten}, Nucl. Phys. B 546, 52-64 (1999; Zbl 0944.81046)]).
