We discuss ε-expansion in curved space–time for asymptotically free and asymptotically nonfree theories. The existence of stable and unstable fixed points is investigated for fϕ 4 theory and SU(2) gauge theory. It is shown that ε-expansion maybe compatible with aysmptotic freedom on special solutions of the RG equations in a special ase (supersymmetric theory). Using ε-expansion RG technique, the effective Lagrangian for covariantly constant gauge SU(2) field and effective potential for gauged NJL model are found in (4-ε)-dimensional curved space (in linear curvature approximation). The curvature-induced phase transitions from symmetric phase to asymmetric phase (chromomagnetic vacuum and chiral symmetry broken phase, respectively) are discussed for the above two models.
