Abstract
We study the curvature energy effects on large-scale inhomogeneities from the first-order quark-hadron phase transition in the early Universe. We find that, when the curvature term is included in the bubble free energy, the average distance between bubbles nucleated in the phase transition is slightly reduced. However, for some QCD parameter values, the distance scale is calculated to be large enough to affect the primordial nucleosynthesis.
