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
Integrability of the symmetry reduced bosonic dynamics and soliton generating transformations in the low energy heterotic string effective theory
Integrable structure of the symmetry reduced dynamics of massless bosonic
sector of the heterotic string effective action is presented. For string
background equations that govern in the space-time of dimensions ()
the dynamics of interacting gravitational, dilaton, antisymmetric tensor and
any number of Abelian vector gauge fields, all depending only on two
coordinates, we construct an \emph{equivalent} matrix
spectral problem (). This spectral problem provides the base for the
development of various solution constructing procedures (dressing
transformations, integral equation methods). For the case of the absence of
Abelian gauge fields, we present the soliton generating transformations of any
background with interacting gravitational, dilaton and the second rank
antisymmetric tensor fields. This new soliton generating procedure is available
for constructing of various types of field configurations including stationary
axisymmetric fields, interacting plane, cylindrical or some other types of
waves and cosmological solutions.Comment: 4 pages; added new section on Belinski-Zakharov solitons and new

Symplectic Gravity Models in Four, Three and Two Dimensions
A class of the gravity models describing a coupled system of
Abelian vector fields and the symmetric matrix generalizations of
the dilaton and Kalb-Ramond fields is considered. It is shown that the
Pecci-Quinn axion matrix can be entered and the resulting equations of motion
possess the symmetry in four dimensions. The stationary case is
studied. It is established that the theory allows a -model
representation with a target space which is invariant under the
group of isometry transformations. The chiral matrix of the coset is constructed. A K\"ahler formalism based on the use of the Ernst
complex symmetric matrix is developed. The stationary
axisymmetric case is considered. The Belinsky-Zakharov chiral matrix depending
on the original field variables is obtained. The Kramer-Neugebauer
transformation, which algebraically maps the original variables into the target
space ones, is presented.Comment: 21 pages, RevTex, no figurie
