Let M be either a projective manifold (M, Π) or a pseudo-Riemannian manifold (M, g). We extend, intrinsically, the projective/conformal Schwarzian derivatives we have introduced recently, to the space of differential operators acting on symmetric contravariant tensor fields of any degree on M. As operators, we show that the projective/conformal Schwarzian derivatives depend only on the projective connection Π and the conformal class of the metric [g], respectively. Furthermore, we compute the first cohomology group of Vect(M) with coefficients in the space of symmetric contravariant tensor fields valued in the space of δ-densities, and we compute the corresponding sl(n + 1, ℝ)-relative cohomology group.
