1. Let V,, be an n-dimensional generalized metric space-one to which there is assigned an absolute scalar differential invariant f (x, dx), f being positively homogeneous of degree two in dxl,..., dxT. Iff. i= flbdx'and gij=/2fij. J the length of a vector t relative to the element dx is by definition t2= g (xdx) t1,(1.1) the summation convention for every repeated index being used. I define two metrics f (x, dx) and f'(x, dx) as conformal if the length of an arbitrary vector in the one is proportional to the length of this vector in the other. Let'p (x, dx) be the factor of proportionality; then from (1.1) we obtain gij='pgij and therefore gij. k= Vgqj. k+(o. kgVj= Vgjk. i+'. igjk Hence
