A class of finite GUT's in curved space–time is considered in connection with the cosmological inflation scenario. It is confirmed that the use of the running scalar-gravitational coupling constant in these models helps realizing a successful chaotic inflation. The analyses are made for some different sets of the models.

The phase structure of Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with N-component fermions in curved space-time is studied in the leading order of the 1/N expansion. The effective potential for composite operator [Formula: see text] is calculated by using the normal coordinate expansion in the Schwinger proper-time method. The existence of the first order phase transition caused by the change of the space-time curvature is confirmed and the dynamical mass of the fermion is calculated as a simultaneous function of the curvature and the four-fermion coupling constant. The phase diagram in the curvature and the coupling constant is obtained.

By explicit solution of the one-loop finiteness conditions for all dimensionless coupling constants (i.e. the gauge coupling constant as well as Yukawa and quartic scalar-boson self-interaction coupling constants), two classes of grand unified theories characterized by renormalization-group beta functions which all vanish at least at the one-loop level are constructed and analyzed with respect to the (suspected) appearance of quadratic divergences, with the result that without exception in all of these models the masses of both vector and scalar bosons receive quadratically divergent one-loop contributions.

In this work, we seek a cosmological mechanism that may define the sign of the effective gravitational coupling constant, G. To this end, we consider general scalar-tensor gravity theories as they provide the field theory natural framework for the variation of the gravitational coupling. We find that models with a quadratic potential naturally stabilize the value of G into the positive branch of the evolution and further, that de Sitter inflation and a relaxation to General Relativity is easily attained.

The cross sections for the process of photoproduction of gravitons in Coulomb and magnetic dipole external fields have been calculated. The calculation, which is linear in the gravitational coupling constant κ, is completely covariant, manifestly gauge invariant, and divergence free. The results to this order in κ are exact. Expressions for the case of extended sources have also been obtained and found to be in agreement with the results of other authors.

A previous calculation of Newton's gravitational coupling constant G is generalized. This generalization makes it possible to have "atoms of two-dimensional space" with an integer dimension d atom of the internal space, where the case d atom = 1 is found to be excluded. Given the quantum of area l2, the final formula for G is inversely proportional to the logarithm of the integer d atom . The generalization used may be interpreted as a modification of the energy equipartition law of the microscopic degrees of freedom responsible for gravity, suggesting some form of long-range interaction between these degrees of freedom themselves.
