We study the stability of Minkowski space under global conformal fluctuations in the framework of QFT in curved space. We obtain that when a scalar massive free field is present, Minkowski space is an unstable solution of the semiclassical cosmological problem. We also study the consequences of considering a nonlinear gravitational action. © 1985.
