    Symmetries of String Effective Action and Space-Time Geometry

    Get PDF
    Two dimensional charged black hole solution is obtained by implementing an O(2,2)O(2,2) transformation on the three dimensional black string solution. Two different monopole backgrounds in five dimensions are related through an O(2,2)O(2,2) transformation. It has been shown in these examples that the particular O(2,2)O(2,2) transformation corresponds to duality transformation.Comment: 14 page

    String Effective Action and Two Dimensional Charged Black Hole

    Full text link
    Graviton-dilaton background field equations in three space-time dimensions, following from the string effective action are solved when the metric has only time dependence. By taking one of the two space dimensions as compact, our solution reproduces a recently discovered charged black hole solution in two space-time dimensions. Solutions in presence of nonvanishing three dimensional background antisymmetric tensor field are also discussed.Comment: 11 page

    Non-canonical folding of Dynkin diagrams and reduction of affine Toda theories

    Get PDF
    The equation of motion of affine Toda field theory is a coupled equation for rr fields, rr is the rank of the underlying Lie algebra. Most of the theories admit reduction, in which the equation is satisfied by fewer than rr fields. The reductions in the existing literature are achieved by identifying (folding) the points in the Dynkin diagrams which are connected by symmetry (automorphism). In this paper we present many new reductions. In other words the symmetry of affine Dynkin diagrams could be extended and it leads to non-canonical foldings. We investigate these reductions in detail and formulate general rules for possible reductions. We will show that eventually most of the theories end up in a2n(2)a_{2n}^{(2)} that is the theory cannot have a further dimension mm reduction where m<nm<n.Comment: 26 pages, Latex2e, usepackage `graphics.sty', 15 figure

    An Algorithm to Generate Classical Solutions for String Effective Action

    Full text link
    It is shown explicitly, that a number of solutions for the background field equations of the string effective action in space-time dimension D can be generated from any known lower dimensional solution, when background fields have only time dependence. An application of the result to the two dimensional charged black hole is presented. The case of background with more general coordinate dependence is also discussed.Comment: 12 page

    Instability of Solitons in imaginary coupling affine Toda Field Theory

    Get PDF
    Affine Toda field theory with a pure imaginary coupling constant is a non-hermitian theory. Therefore the solutions of the equation of motion are complex. However, in 1+11+1 dimensions it has many soliton solutions with remarkable properties, such as real total energy/momentum and mass. Several authors calculated quantum mass corrections of the solitons by claiming these solitons are stable. We show that there exists a large class of classical solutions which develops singularity after a finite lapse of time. Stability claims, in earlier literature, were made ignoring these solutions. Therefore we believe that a formulation of quantum theory on a firmer basis is necessary in general and for the quantum mass corrections of solitons, in particular.Comment: 17 pages, latex, no figure

    Liouville Integrability of Classical Calogero-Moser Models

    Get PDF
    Liouville integrability of classical Calogero-Moser models is proved for models based on any root systems, including the non-crystallographic ones. It applies to all types of elliptic potentials, i.e. untwisted and twisted together with their degenerations (hyperbolic, trigonometric and rational), except for the rational potential models confined by a harmonic force.Comment: 8 pages, LaTeX2e, no figure
