Osborn Equation and Irrelevant Operators

Abstract

The structure of the Osborn ("Local Renormalization Group") Equation in the presence of integer dimensional irrelevant operators is studied. We argue that the consistency of the anomalous part of the generating functional requires a beta-function for the metric. The modified form of the Weyl anomalies is calculated.
