Review text

Summary: In this note we introduce and study some new tensors on general Riemannian manifolds which provide a link between the geometry of the underlying manifold and conformally invariant operators (up to order four). We study some of their properties and their relations with well-known geometric objects, such as the scalar curvature, the \(Q\)-curvature, the Paneitz operator and the Schouten tensor, and with the elementary conformal tensors \(\{T^u_{m,\alpha}\}\) and \(\{X^u_{m,\mu}\}\) on Euclidean space introduced in [\textit{Y. Li} et al., Nonlinear Anal., Theory Methods Appl., Ser. A, Theory Methods 95, 339--361 (2014; Zbl 1286.35076); ibid 75, No. 13, 5194--5211 (2012; Zbl 1250.35068)].
