Abstract
We discuss the renormalization group improved effective action and run ning surface couplings in curved spacetime with boundary. Using scalar self-interacting theory as an example, we study the influence of boun dary effects to the effective equations of motion in the spherical cap and the relevance of surface running couplings to quantum cosmology a nd the symmetry breaking phenomenon. Running surface couplings in the asymptotically free SU(2) gauge theory are found.
