R-invariant Dilaton Fixing

چکیده
We consider dilaton stabilization with R invariance, which insures a vanishing cosmological constant at the scale of stabilization. We construct a few models which accommodate weak gauge couplings with large or small gauge groups. Matter condensation plays a central role in the dilaton stabilization.

S-duality invariant perturbations in string cosmology
We investigate the generation of curvature and isocurvature (dilaton, moduli and axion) perturbations in a general class of axion–dilaton–moduli models, including the pre–big bang scenario. Allowing for an arbitrary coupling constant λ between the dilaton field and the axion field, we exploit the SL(2,R) symmetry of the theory to obtain the spectral indices of the field perturbations in a pre–b...
متن کاملSL(2,R)-duality covariance of Killing spinors in axion-dilaton black holes.
Under SL(2, R) electric-magnetic duality transformations the Bogomolnyi bound of dilaton-axion black holes is known to be invariant. In this paper we show that this invariance corresponds to the covariance of the N = 4 supersymmetry transformation rules and their parameters. In particular this implies that Killing spinors transform covariantly into Killing spinors. As an example, we work out co...
متن کاملSl(2,r) Invariance of Non-linear Electrodynamics Coupled to an Axion and a Dilaton
The most general Lagrangian for non-linear electrodynamics coupled to an axion a and a dilaton φ with SL(2,R) invariant equations of motion is −12 (∇φ) 2 − 12e 2φ (∇a) + 1 4aFμν ⋆ F μν + Linv(gμν , e − 1 2 Fρσ) where Linv(gμν , Fρσ) is a Lagrangian whose equations of motion are invariant under electric-magnetic duality rotations. In particular there is a unique generalization of Born-Infeld the...
متن کاملGeneralized Symmetries and Invariant Matter Couplings in Two-dimensional Dilaton Gravity *
New features of the generalized symmetries of generic two-dimensional dilaton models of gravity are presented and invariant gravity-matter couplings are introduced. We show that there is a continuum set of Noether symmetries, which contains half a de Witt algebra. Two of these symmetries are area-preserving transformations. We show that gravity-matter couplings which are invariant under area pr...
متن کاملNon-existence of a dilaton gravity action for the exact string black hole
We prove that no local diffeomorphism invariant two-dimensional theory of the metric and the dilaton without higher derivatives can describe the exact string black hole solution found a decade ago by Dijkgraaf, Verlinde and Verlinde. One of the key points in this proof is the concept of dilaton-shift invariance. We present and solve (classically) all dilaton-shift invariant theories of two-dime...
