    Als Grundvektoren einer Hyperfläche \(X^k = X^k (x^{\dot 1}, x^{\dot2},\ldots, x^{\dot n-\dot1})\) in einem Raum mit konformer Übertragung wählt Verf. \(n\) Kugeln \[ \begin{aligned} \mathfrak B^A_p &= \frac{\partial \mathfrak B^A}{\partial x^p} +\varGamma^A_{B\gamma} \mathfrak B^B\frac{\partial X^\gamma}{\partial x^p} +\left(\frac1n\frac{\partial X^0}{\partial x^p} -\frac1{n-1}\delta^0_p\right) \mathfrak B^A, \\ \mathfrak B^A_{\dot\infty} &= -G^{ab}\left(\frac{\partial \mathfrak B^A_a}{\partial x^b} +\varGamma^A_{Bk} \mathfrak B^B_a\frac{\partial X^k}{\partial x^b} -\varGamma^r_{ab}\mathfrak B^A_r\right) +\lambda \mathfrak B^A_{\dot 0}, \end{aligned} \] \(A,\,B=0,\,1,\,\ldots,\,\infty\); \(\gamma=0,\,1,\,\ldots,\,n\); \(p=\dot0,\,\dot1,\,\ldots,\,\dot n-\dot1\); \(a,\,b=\dot1,\,\dot2,\,\ldots,\,\dot n-\dot1\), und eine Einheitskugel \(\mathfrak R^A\), orthogonal zu \(\mathfrak B_p^A\) und \(\mathfrak B^A_{\dot\infty}\). Ferner ist \[ \begin{aligned} &\varDelta^{2(n-1)}=\det|(ab)|,\quad (ab)=\frac1{n^2} G_{ij}\frac{\partial X^i}{\partial x^a} \frac{\partial X^j}{\partial x^b},\quad \mathfrak B^A=\varDelta^{-1}\delta_0^A,\\ &G_{ab}=\mathfrak G_{AB}\mathfrak B^A_a\mathfrak B^B_b,\quad \lambda=\frac12\mathfrak G_{AB} \mathfrak B^A_{\phantom A\dot\infty} \mathfrak B^B_{\phantom B\dot\infty},\quad \mathfrak B^A_{\phantom A\dot\infty}= \mathfrak B^{\phantom{\dot\infty}A}_{\dot\infty} -\lambda\mathfrak B_{\dot0}^{\phantom{\dot0}A}. \end{aligned} \] Dann lauten die Grundgleichungen \[ \mathfrak B^A_{P,Q} = b^R_{PQ}\mathfrak B_R^{\phantom RA} +b_{PQ} \mathfrak N^A,\quad \mathfrak N^A_{\phantom AQ}= b^{\phantom QR}_Q\mathfrak B_R^{\phantom RA} +b_Q\mathfrak N^A. \]
