Abstract: (Elsevier)
The large-distance behaviour of dilaton couplings is studied within the framework of four-dimensional heterotic superstring theories. String loop corrections violate universality of dilaton and graviton couplings, increasing dilaton couplings at large distances. This implies a serious problem for string theories, unless a non-zero dilaton mass is generated.
