Abstract
The conformal anomaly induced sector of four-dimensional quantum gravity (infrared quantum gravity) ---which has been introduced by Antoniadis and Mottola--- is here studied on a curved fiducial background. The one-loop effective potential for the effective conformal factor theory is calculated with accuracy, including terms linear in the curvature. It is proven that a curvature induced phase transition can actually take place. An estimation of the critical curvature for different choices of the parameters of the theory is given.
