We study the dilaton stabilization in the D-brane world in which a D-brane
constitutes our universe. The dilaton can be stabilized due to the interplay
between the D-brane tension and the negative scalar curvature of extra
dimensions. Cosmic evolution of the dilaton is investigated with the obtained
dilaton potential and it is found that inflation can be realized before the
settlement of the dilaton.Comment: 10 pages, abstract correcte
