Dilaton Cosmology and Phenomenology
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper is dedicated to Gabriele Veneziano on his 65th birthday. Most of the results reported here are known results, due to Gabriele, or obtained in collaboration with him, or inspired by our joint work on string cosmology. A few new results are also presented concerning the duality invariance of a non-local dilaton coupling to the matter sources, and its possible cosmological applications in the context of the dark-energy scenario.

Phenomenology and Cosmology of Weakly Coupled String Theory * † Disclaimer
The weakly coupled vacuum of E8 ⊗ E8 heterotic string theory remains an attractive scenario for phenomenolgy and cosmology. The particle spectrum is reviewed and the issues of gauge coupling unification, dilaton stabilization and modular cosmology are discussed. A specific model for condensation and supersymmetry breaking, that respects known constraints from string theory and is phenomenologic...
متن کاملString Cosmology
We present a brief review of recent advances in string cosmology. Starting with the Dilaton-Moduli Cosmology (known also as the Pre Big Bang), we go on to include the effects of axion fields and address the thorny issue of the Graceful Exit in String Cosmology. This is followed by a review of density perturbations arising in string cosmology and we finish with a brief introduction to the impact...

We consider quantum N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory interacting in a covariant way with N = 4 conformal supergravity. The induced large N effective action for such a theory is calculated on a dilaton-gravitational background using the conformal anomaly found via AdS/CFT correspondence. Considering such an effective action as a quantum correction to the classical gravity action we study quantum co...
متن کاملUsing the Dilaton Potential to Obtain String Cosmology Solutions
We examine the string cosmology equations with a dilaton potential, contrasting the requirements that the equations and their solutions have the desired a → 1/a pre-big bang symmetry, and give a generic algorithm for obtaining solutions with desired evolutionary properties. This enables us to find pre-big bang type solutions that are regular at t = 0, and with suitable dilaton behaviour. Howeve...
