15. μν√-η in two dimensions, the base metric can be identified only up to a conformal factor.
16. These formulae have been widely used in the quantum field theory literature. Strictly speaking, they are deduced by computing the determinant of an elliptic operator defined on the base manifold, and their numerical coefficients may depend on the topology. Although our base manifold is not compact, we assume that the standard formulas for the loop-pole coefficients apply as well to our case.
