      An algebraic curvature tensor is called Osserman if the eigenvalues of the associated Jacobi operator are constant on the unit sphere. A Riemannian manifold is called conformally Osserman if its Weyl conformal curvature tensor at every point is Osserman. In this remarkable paper, it is proved that a conformally Osserman manifold of dimension \(n \neq 3, 4, 16\) is locally conformally equivalent either to a Euclidean space or to a rank-one symmetric space.
