The Coulomb potential in gauge theory with a dilaton
نویسنده
چکیده
I calculate the potential of a pointlike particle carrying SU(Nc) charge in a gauge theory with a dilaton. The solution depends on boundary conditions imposed on the dilaton: For a dilaton that vanishes at infinity the resulting potential is of the form (r + rφ) , with rφ inverse proportional to the decay constant of the dilaton. Another natural constraint for the dilaton φ is independence of 1 g exp( φ fφ ) from the gauge coupling g. This requirement yields a potential proportional to r and makes it impossible to create an isolated SU(Nc) charge.

Implications of a Dilaton in Gauge Theory and Cosmology
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 inst...

Exact static, spherically symmetric solutions to the Einstein-Abelian gauge-dilaton equations, in D -dimensional gravity with a chain of n Ricci-flat internal spaces are considered, with the gauge field potential having three nonzero components: the temporal, Coulomb-like one, the one pointing to one of the extra dimensions, and the one responsible for a radial magnetic field. For dilaton coupl...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Models with Product Groups and Field Dependent Gauge Couplings
We study the dilaton-dependence of the effective action for N = 1, SU(N1)×SU(N2) models with one generation of vectorlike matter transforming in the fundamental of both groups. We treat in detail the confining and Coulomb phases of these models writing explicit expressions in many cases for the effective superpotential. We can do so for the Wilson superpotentials of the Coulomb phase when N2 = ...
متن کاملVector and Scalar Confinement in Gauge Theory with a Dilaton
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 ensures confinement in the framework of no-pair equations. Here I would like to point out that a dilaton coupling both to the gauge curvature term and to fermion masses yields a linear potential with a scalar component...
متن کاملThe Coulomb law in the pure gauge U ( 1 ) theory on a lattice ∗
We study the heavy charge potential in the Coulomb phase of pure gauge compact U(1) theory on the lattice. We calculate the static potential VW (T, ~ R) from Wilson loops on a 16 × 32 lattice and compare with the predictions of lattice perturbation theory. We investigate finite size effects and, in particular, the importance of non–Coulomb contributions to the potential. We also comment on the ...
