Abstract
We study the spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) induced by a scalar field and its non-minimal interaction with gravity in the space-time of an arbitrary dimension (D > 2), where the gravitational field is treated as a dynamical field. We explore mainly the possibility of implementing SSB after introducing the non-minimal coupling with such dynamical gravitational field.
