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

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 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

Expansionfree Fluid Evolution and Skripkin Model in f(R) Theory

We consider the modified $f(R)$ theory of gravity whose higher order curvature terms are interpreted as a gravitational fluid or dark source. The gravitational collapse of a spherically symmetric star, made up of locally anisotropic viscous fluid, is studied under the general influence of the curvature fluid. Dynamical equations and junction conditions are modified in the context of f(R) dark energy and by taking into account the expansionfree evolution of the self-gravitating fluid. As a particular example, the Skripkin model is investigated which corresponds to isotropic pressure with constant energy density. The results are compared with corresponding results in General Relativity.Comment: 18 pages, accepted for publication Int. J. Mod. Phys.

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

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

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 $B_{t\phi}$--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 $U(1)^n$ 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
