In mathematics, a relative scalar (of weight w) is a scalar-valued function whose transform under a coordinate transform, on an n-dimensional manifold obeys the following equation where that is, the determinant of the Jacobian of the transformation. A scalar density refers to the case. Relative scalars are an important special case of the more general concept of a relative tensor.
