    String theory extensions of Einstein-Maxwell fields: the static case

    Get PDF
    We present a new approach for generation of solutions in the four-dimensional heterotic string theory with one vector field and in the five-dimensional bosonic string theory starting from the static Einstein-Maxwell fields. Our approach allows one to construct the solution classes invariant with respect to the total subgroup of the three-dimensional charging symmetries of these string theories. The new generation procedure leads to the extremal Israel-Wilson-Perjes subclass of string theory solutions in a special case and provides its natural continuous extension to the realm of non-extremal solutions. We explicitly calculate all string theory solutions related to three-dimensional gravity coupled to an effective dilaton field which arises after an appropriate charging symmetry invariant reduction of the static Einstein-Maxwell system.Comment: 19 pages in late

    Chiral models in dilaton-Maxwell gravity

    Get PDF
    We study symmetry properties of the Einstein-Maxwell theory nonminimaly coupled to the dilaton field. We consider a static case with pure electric (magnetic) Maxwell field and show that the resulting system becomes a nonlinear sigma-model wich possesses a chiral representation. We construct the corresponding chiral matrix and establish a representation which is related to the pair of Ernst-like potentials. These potentials are used for separation of the symmetry group into the gauge and nongauge (charging) sectors. New variables, which linearize the action of charging symmetries, are also established; a solution generation technique based on the use of charging symmetries is formulated. This technique is used for generation of the elecricaly (magneticaly) charged dilatonic fields from the static General Relativity ones.Comment: 9 pages in LaTex; published in Gen. Rel.

    Particle motion around magnetized black holes: Preston-Poisson space-time

    Get PDF
    We analyze motion of massless and massive particles around black holes immersed in an asymptotically uniform magnetic field and surrounded by some mechanical structure, which provides the magnetic field. The space-time is described by Preston-Poisson metric, which is the generalization of the well-known Ernst metric with a new parameter, tidal force, characterizing the surrounding structure. The Hamilton-Jacobi equations allow separation of variables in the equatorial plane. The presence of tidal force from surroundings considerably changes parameters of the test particle motion: it increases the radius of circular orbits of particles, increases the binding energy of massive particles going from a given circular orbits to the innermost stable orbit near black hole. In addition, it increases the distance of minimal approach, time delay and bending angle for a ray of light propagating near black hole.Comment: 6 pages, RevTex, the version accepted for publication in Phys.

    Get PDF
    The inverse scattering problem method application to construction of exact solution for Maxwell dilaton gravity system ia considered. By use of Belinsky and Zakharov L - A pair the solution of the theory is constructed. The rotating Kerr - like configuration with NUT - parameter is obtained.Comment: 8 pages in LaTex; published in Gen. Rel. Grav. pp. 32 (2000) 2219-222

    Very high frequency gravitational wave background in the universe

    Full text link
    Astrophysical sources of high frequency gravitational radiation are considered in association with a new interest to very sensitive HFGW receivers required for the laboratory GW Hertz experiment. A special attention is paid to the phenomenon of primordial black holes evaporation. They act like black body to all kinds of radiation, including gravitons, and, therefore, emit an equilibrium spectrum of gravitons during its evaporation. Limit on the density of high frequency gravitons in the Universe is obtained, and possibilities of their detection are briefly discussed.Comment: 14 page
