“Conformal Normal Coordinates”

We will prove the existence of conformal normal coordinates on a Riemannian manifold M and will show how that simplifies the local geometry on M more than the geodesic normal coordinates. We will also give important applications of conformal normal coordinates to the solution of the Yamabe problem.
