We obtain high temperature results for the one-loop effective action for composite fields in interaction with an Abelian gauge field and minimally coupled to gravity in a curved background space-time, using the Vilkovisky-DeWitt approach, by making a local expansion in the Riemann tensor and its derivatives. We also give results for the fields minimally coupled to gravity in an arbitrary curved background space-time at zero temperature, and for the case where the fields are nonminimally coupled to gravity in Euclidean de Sitter space. The results obtained are gauge-invariant and gauge-condition-independent on-shell as well as off-shell.

The one-loop effective action (the Casimir gravitational energy) of the aribitrary Einstein supergravity on the background [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the Minkowski space with non-zero temperature, Td is the d-dimensional torus, is calculated. The problem of quantum breaking of supersymmetry is discussed. The Vilkovisky-De Witt effective action in the D-dimensional Einstein gravity with the Λ-term on the background [Formula: see text] is found. An idea is expressed that a temperature phase transition in Kaluza-Klein theories is possible. For d=5 gravity, the Vilkovisky-De Witt effective action on the [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is four-dimensional curved space-time with non-zero temperature, is found.

In the present paper a general expression of quantum effective action for arbitrary d-dimensional supergravity on the background Rn×Td−n′ where Rn is n-dimensional curved space-time, Td is d-dimensional torus, is obtained as an expansion on the curvature and its derivatives. The mechanism of inducing Einstein gravity with zero Λ term is proposed. It is shown that the 4-dimensional gravity with the true sign of the Newton constant is induced from d=5 supergravity when antiperiodic boundary conditions are chosen for all fields of supermultiplet. The one-loop effective action is obtained for d=4, 5, 7, 10 supergravities with the accuracy of linear curvature terms. The one-loop Vilcovisky-De Witt effective action is also obtained for d=5 SG’s with the accuracy of linear curvature terms.

It has been shown that the negative norm states necessarily appear in a covariant quantization of the free minimally coupled scalar field in de Sitter space.1,2 In this process, ultraviolet and infrared divergences have been automatically eliminated.3 A natural renormalization of the one-loop interacting quantum field in Minkowski spacetime (λϕ4 theory) has been achieved through the consideration of the negative norm states.4 The one-loop effective action for scalar field in a general curved space-time has been calculated by this method, and a natural renormalization procedure in the one-loop approximation has been established.

We derive necessary and sufficient conditions that a second-order co-variant differential operator be a symmetry operator of Maxwell’s equations in a general curved space-time background. It is found that such operators are naturally formulated in terms of conformal Killing vectors, tensors and spinors. Operators of this type play a role in the solution of Maxwell’s equations via separation of variables in the Kerr background space-time.

GUT’s in curved space-time is considered. The set of asymptotically free and asymptotically conformally invariant models based on the SU (N) gauge group is constructed. The general solutions of renormalization group equations are considered as the special ones. Several SU (2N) models, which are finite in flat space-time (on the one-loop level) and asymptotically conformally invariant in external gravitational field are also presented.
