Abstract
The sector of quantum gravity induced by the conformal anomaly (infrar ed gravity) is considered on the curved background. The one-loop effec tive potential (including terms the curvature) is calculated in this t heory. It is shown that the theory admits phase transitions induced by curvature. Critical values of the curvature are estimated for differe nt choices of parameters of the theory
