Implications of a dilaton in gauge theory and cosmology
arXiv:hep-th/9704193 · doi:10.1002/prop.2190450702
Abstract
After a review of theoretical motivations to consider theories with direct couplings of scalar fields to Ricci and gauge curvature terms, we consider the dynamics and non-perturbative stabilization of a dilaton in three and in four dimensions. In particular, we derive generalized Coulomb potentials in the presence of a dilaton and discuss a low energy effective dilaton potential induced by instanton effects and the S--dual coupling to axions. We conclude with a discussion of cosmological implications of a light dilaton.
