We discuss ε-expansion in curved space–time for asymptotically free and asymptotically nonfree theories. The existence of stable and unstable fixed points is investigated for fϕ4 theory and SU(2) gauge theory. It is shown that ε-expansion maybe compatible with aysmptotic freedom on special solutions of the RG equations in a special ase (supersymmetric theory). Using ε-expansion RG technique, the effective Lagrangian for covariantly constant gauge SU(2) field and effective potential for gauged NJL model are found in (4-ε)-dimensional curved space (in linear curvature approximation). The curvature-induced phase transitions from symmetric phase to asymmetric phase (chromomagnetic vacuum and chiral symmetry broken phase, respectively) are discussed for the above two models.

Space Formulation

A momentum space formulation of curved space–time quantum field theory is presented. Such a formulation allows the riches of momentum space calculational techniques already existing in nuclear physics to be exploited in the application of quantum field theory to cosmology and astrophysics. It is demonstrated that one such technique can allow exact, or very accu­rate approximate, results to be obtained in cases which are intractable in coordinate space. An efficient method of numerical solution is also described.
