E. Elizalde et Sd. Odintsov, EFFECTIVE POTENTIAL FOR THE CONFORMAL SECTOR OF QUANTUM-GRAVITY WITH TORSION, Physics letters. Section B, 315(3-4), 1993, pp. 245-250
The effective potential which describes the conformal dynamics of quan
tum gravity with torsion is discussed. The phase transitions induced b
y the combination of torsion and curvature are investigated. The mecha
nism for fixing the vacuum expectation values of the metric and torsio
n is presented.
