We review previous work of Alain Connes, and its extension by the author, on some conformal invariants obtained from the noncommutative residue on even dimensional compact manifolds without boundary. Inspired by recent work of Yong Wang, we also address possible generalizations of these conformal invariants to the setting of compact manifolds with boundary.
Keywords: manifolds with boundary; noncommutative residue; Fredholm module; conformal invariants.
