Abstract

Recent developments in the renormalization group approach to grand unification theories (GUT's) in curved space-time are reviewed. The new kind of asymptotical conformal invariance in “finite” GUT's in curved space-time (with torsion) is derived. A discussion of asymptotically-finite GUT's in flat and curved space-time is presented. The modifications to the renormalization group in curved space with boundary are given. Some applications of the renormalization group are discussed as well as some prospects.
