Matrix Ernst Potentials and Orthogonal Symmetry for Heterotic String in Three Dimensions

A new matrix representation for low-energy limit of heterotic string theory reduced to three dimensions is considered. The pair of matrix Ernst Potentials uniquely connected with the coset matrix is derived. The action of the symmetry group on the Ernst potentials is established.Comment: 10 pages in LaTe

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

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
