Dimensional Reduction of 4d Heterotic String Black Holes
نویسنده
چکیده
We perform the spherical symmetric dimensional reduction 4d → 2d of heterotic string theory. We find a class of two-dimensional (2d) dilaton gravity models that gives a general description of the near-horizon, near-extremal behavior of four-dimensional (4d) heterotic string black holes. We show that the duality group of the 4d theory is realized in two dimensions in terms of Weyl transformations of the metric. We use the 2d dilaton gravity theory to compute the statistical entropy of the near-extremal 4d, a = 1/ √ 3, black hole. PACS: 04.70.Bw; 11.25.Mj; 04.50.+h E-Mail: [email protected]

متن کاملKaluza-Klein black holes in string theory.
Exact solutions of heterotic string theory corresponding to four-dimensional magnetic black holes in N = 4 supergravity are described. The solutions describe the black holes in the throat limit, and consist of a tensor product of an SU(2) WZW orbifold with the linear dilaton vacuum, supersymmetrized to (1, 0) world sheet SUSY. One dimension of the SU(2) model is interpreted as a compactified fi...
متن کاملDual Heterotic Black-holes in Four and Two Dimensions
We consider a class of extremal and non-extremal four-dimensional black-hole solutions occuring in toroidally compactiied heterotic string theory, whose ten-dimensional interpretation involves a Kaluza-Klein monopole and a ve-brane. We show that these four-dimensional solutions can be connected to extremal and non-extremal two-dimensional heterotic black-hole solutions through a change in the a...
متن کاملString Vacua with N = 2 Supersymmetry in Four Dimensions
In this article we review four-dimensional string vacua with N = 2 space-time supersymmetry. In particular, we will discuss several aspects of the string-string duality between the heterotic string, compactified on K3 × T 2 , and the type II superstring compactified on a Calabi-Yau threefold. We investigate the massless supersymmetric spectra, showing agreement for a large class of dual heterot...
متن کاملHeterotic Coset Models of Microscopic Strings and Black Holes
Following a recent conjecture by Lapan, Simons and Strominger, we revisit and discuss an intrinsically heterotic class of conformal field theories, emphasizing their Lagrangian construction as asymmetrically gauged WZW models, which may be useful in several applications to the study of supersymmetric strings and black holes in heterotic and type II string theory compactified on T 6 and K3 × T 2...
