Conventions
In some areas, particularly conformal geometry, a different weighting convention is used: the bundle of s-densities is instead associated with the character
With this convention, for instance, one integrates n-densities (rather than 1-densities). Also in these conventions, a conformal metric is identified with a tensor density of weight 2.
