    Bosonic string - Kaluza Klein theory exact solutions using 5D-6D dualities

    Get PDF
    We present the explicit formulae which allow to transform the general solution of the 6D Kaluza--Klein theory on a 3--torus into the special solution of the 6D bosonic string theory on a 3--torus as well as into the general solution of the 5D bosonic string theory on a 2--torus. We construct a new family of the extremal solutions of the 3D chiral equation for the SL(4,R)/SO(4) coset matrix and interpret it in terms of the component fields of these three duality related theories.Comment: 13 pages in LaTe

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

    Get PDF
    We present a new approach for generating solutions in heterotic string theory compactified down to three dimensions on a torus with d+n>2, where d and n stand for the number of compactified space--time dimensions and Abelian gauge fields, respectively. It is shown that in the case when d=2k+1 and n is arbitrary, one can apply a solution--generating procedure starting from solutions of the stationary Einstein theory with k Maxwell fields; our approach leads to classes of solutions which are invariant with respect to the total group of three-dimensional charging symmetries. We consider a particular extension of the stationary Einstein--multi-Maxwell theory obtained on the basis of the Kerr--multi-Newman--NUT special class of solutions and establish the conditions under which the resulting multi--dimensional metric is free of Dirac string peculiarities.Comment: 19 pages in late

    Charging Interacting Rotating Black Holes in Heterotic String Theory

    Full text link
    We present a formulation of the stationary bosonic string sector of the whole toroidally compactified effective field theory of the heterotic string as a double Ernst system which, in the framework of General Relativity describes, in particular, a pair of interacting spinning black holes; however, in the framework of low--energy string theory the double Ernst system can be particularly interpreted as the rotating field configuration of two interacting sources of black hole type coupled to dilaton and Kalb--Ramond fields. We clarify the rotating character of the BtϕB_{t\phi}--component of the antisymmetric tensor field of Kalb--Ramond and discuss on its possible torsion nature. We also recall the fact that the double Ernst system possesses a discrete symmetry which is used to relate physically different string vacua. Therefore we apply the normalized Harrison transformation (a charging symmetry which acts on the target space of the low--energy heterotic string theory preserving the asymptotics of the transformed fields and endowing them with multiple electromagnetic charges) on a generic solution of the double Ernst system and compute the generated field configurations for the 4D effective field theory of the heterotic string. This transformation generates the U(1)nU(1)^n vector field content of the whole low--energy heterotic string spectrum and gives rise to a pair of interacting rotating black holes endowed with dilaton, Kalb--Ramond and multiple electromagnetic fields where the charge vectors are orthogonal to each other.Comment: 15 pages in latex, revised versio

    We derive a set of complex potentials which linearize the action of charging symmetries of the stationary Einstein-Maxwell dilaton-axion theory.Comment: 10 pages in LaTe

    Towards the quantization of the non-relativistic D2-brane in the Pure Spinor Formalism

    Full text link
    An attempt is made to apply the pure spinor formalism to the non-relativistic IIA D2-brane. The fermionic constraints corresponding to the rescaled fermionic coordinates are given. Two commuting spinor fields are introduced, each one corresponding to a fermionic constraint. A BRST charge is constructed via the ansatz proposed by N. Berkovits. The nilpotency of the BRST charge leads to a set of constraints for the two spinor fields including pure spinor constraints. A novel non-trivial solution is given for one of the spinor fields which can be written as a sum of two pure spinors.Comment: 23 pages in latex, no figures; discussion added, some typos corrected, more references adde
