Abstract
I calculate the potential of a pointlike particle carrying SU 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 , with inverse proportional to the decay constant of the dilaton. Another natural constraint for the dilaton is independence of from the gauge coupling . This requirement yields a potential proportional to and makes it impossible to create an isolated SU charge.
