Constant versus Field Dependent Gauge Couplings in Supersymmetric Theories

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1 High Energy Physics - Theory

Abstract

We briefly discuss the differences between considering the gauge coupling as a constant or as a field, the dilaton, in N=1 supersymmetric theories. We emphasize the differences regarding supersymmetry breaking. Recent developments on the nonperturbative dynamics of these theories provide new ideas on the induced dilaton potential and its stabilization.
