On the recursive structure of Branson's Q-curvature

Abstract

We prove universal recursive formulas for Branson's $Q$-curvatures in terms of respective lower-order $Q$-curvatures, lower-order GJMS-operators and holographic coefficients.

the new version removes an inaccuracy in the proof of the main theorem, corrects misprint, and updates the references
