  We have considered the quantum behavior of a conformally induced gravity in
the minimal Riemann-Cartan space. The regularized one-loop effective potential
considering the quantum fluctuations of the dilaton and the torsion fields in
the Coleman-Weinberg sector gives a sensible phase transition for an
inflationary phase in De Sitter space. For this effective potential, we have
analyzed the semi-classical equation of motion of the dilaton field in the
slow-rolling regime.
