Effective Potential for the Conformal Sector of Quantum Gravity with Torsion

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-09-17 v1

Abstract

The effective potential which describes the conformal dynamics of quantum gravity with torsion is discussed. The phase transitions induced by the combination of torsion and curvature are investigated. The mechanism for fixing the vacuum expectation values of the metric and torsion is presented.
