Scientific paper

After going through several distinguished examples, we argue that gravity is definitely a source of phase transitions of quite different nature: usual scalar effective potential ones, chiral symmetry transitions and even transitions involving the chromomagnetic vacuum. In such context, we emphasize the fact that curvature-induced phase transitions of those kinds~ - where an interplay between general relativity and elementary particle physics occurs~ - can be used in the construction of new models of the inflationary universe.
