The string scale and the Planck scale
Rainer Dick
A particle spectrum below the string scale in accordance with predictions from heterotic string theory yields a Planck mass which exceeds the string scale b…
Vector and scalar confinement in gauge theory with a dilaton
Rainer Dick
In a recent letter it has been shown that gauge theory with a dilaton provides linearly increasing gauge potentials from static or uniformly moving pointlike colour sources. This e…
Implications of a dilaton in gauge theory and cosmology
Rainer Dick
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-perturbat…
The Coulomb potential in gauge theory with a dilaton
Rainer Dick
I calculate the potential of a pointlike particle carrying SU charge in a gauge theory with a dilaton. The solution depends on boundary conditions imposed on the dilaton: Fo…
