Conformal covariance (1-7) has recently become of physical interest after the success of the sealing hypothesis in deep inelastic electroproduction (s, 9) and the theoretical arguments showing that the small-distance behaviour of operator products may be obtained from limits of zero mass (10, 11). In this note we present a set of general properties of conformal covariant theories. The formalism is entirely formulated in space-time and the requirement of conformal symmetry is simply achieved by adding to the Poincar~ algebra plus dilatation a nonlinear discrete operation, to be called co-ordinate inversion, R, defined on space-time as Rx,: x,/x~(1.1~).
