Self–trapping of the Dilaton
نویسنده
چکیده
The dilaton in three dimensions does not roll. Witten’s conjecture that duality between theories in three and four dimensions solves the cosmological constant problem thus may also solve the dilaton problem in string theory.

We investigate the generation of large scale magnetic fields in the universe from quantum fluctuations that are produced in the inflationary stage. By coupling these quantum fluctuations to the dilaton field and Ricci scalar, we show that the magnetic fields with the strength observed today can be produced. We consider two situations. First, the evolution of dilaton ends by starting the reheat...
متن کاملImplications 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...
متن کاملR-invariant Dilaton Fixing
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.
متن کامل0 Naked Singularity and Gauss - Bonnet Term in Brane World Scenarios
We add a Gauss-Bonnet term to the Einstein-Hilbert action and study the recent proposal to solve the cosmological constant problem. We also consider the possibility of adding a dilaton potential to the action. In the absence of supersymmetry, we obtain first order Bogomol'nyi equation as a solution-generating method in our scenario. When the coefficient of the Gauss-Bonnet term is positive, the...
متن کاملDilaton Deformations in Closed String Field Theory
The dilaton theorem implies that the contribution to the dilaton potential from cubic interactions of all levels must be cancelled by the elementary quartic self-coupling of dilatons. We use this expectation to test the quartic structure of closed string field theory and to study the rules for level expansion. We explain how to use the results of Moeller to compute quartic interactions of state...
