Abstract: (IOP)

The coefficient of the Rmu nu Rmu nu -1/3R2 part of the conformal anomaly of the stress tensor for arbitrary spin Weinberg-type fields in a curved background spacetime is calculated. The method used involves obtaining terms in the De-Witt-Schwinger expansion for the two-point function by explicit calculation of the complete two-point function in de Sitter space.
