Abstract: We discuss the conformal factor dynamics in D=6. Accepting the proposal that higher derivative dimensionless terms in the anomaly-induced effective action may be dropped, we obtain a super-renormalizable (like in D=4) effective theory for the conformal factor. The one-loop analysis of this theory gives the anomalous scaling dimension for the conformal factor and provides a natural mechanism to solve the cosmological constant problem.
