Abstract

The hierarchy of conformally coupled scalars with the increasing scaling dimensions ∆_k = k − d/2, k = 1, 2, 3, . . . connected with the k-th Euler density in the corresponding space-time dimensions d ≥ 2k is proposed. The corresponding conformal invariant Lagrangian with the k-th power of Laplacian for the already known cases k = 1, 2 is reviewed, and the subsequent case of k = 3 is completely constructed and analyzed.
