Abstract
Induced gravity, defined as a globally scale-invariant ``first-generation'' scalar-tensor theory, is investigated within the framework of the thermodynamics of modified gravity theories. The ``temperature of gravity'' and its evolution equation are derived for this model, and the resulting expressions are used to analyse General-Relativity equilibrium states and to investigate the possible existence of an attractor mechanism toward Einstein's theory with a cosmological constant.
