It is proved that there is a unique conserved stress tensor possessing a local trace, in the two-dimensional quantum theory of massless scalar and spinor fields propagating in curved space-time. No regularization is therefore required to obtain explicit expressions for the stress tensor. The results agree exactly with earlier expressions obtained from point-splitting regularization.

Local modes and local particles are defined at any point in curved space time as those that most resemble Minkowsky modes at that point. It is shown that the renormalised stress tensor is the difference of energy between the physical vacuum and that defined by these local modes.

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 fϕ4 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.
