The Heterotic Dyonic
نویسندگان
چکیده
The static Yang-Mills-Higgs dyonic instanton is shown to have a non-vanishing, but anti-self-dual, angular momentum 2-form with skew eigenvalues equal to the electric charge; for large charge the angular momentum causes the instanton to expand into a hyper-spherical shell. A class of exact multi dyonic instantons is then found and then generalized to a new class of 1/4 supersymmetric, non-singular, stationary, exact solutions of the ten-dimensional supergravity/Yang-Mills theory. These self-gravitating dyonic instantons yield new heterotic string solitons, to leading order in the inverse string tension.

Dyonic BPS saturated black holes of heterotic string on a six-torus.
Within effective heterotic superstring theory compactified on a six-torus we derive minimum energy (supersymmetric), static, spherically symmetric solutions, which are manifestly invariant under the target space O(6, 22) and the strong-weak coupling SL(2) duality symmetries with 28 electric and 28 magnetic charges subject to one constraint. The class of solutions with a constant axion correspon...
متن کاملMassless BPS-Saturated States on the Two-Torus Moduli Sub-Space of Heterotic String
Within a four-dimensional, toroidally compactified heterotic string, we identify (quantized) charge vectors of electrically charged BPS-saturated states (along with the tower of SL(2, Z) related dyonic states), which preserve 1 2 of N = 4 supersymmetry and become massless along the hyper-surfaces of enhanced gauge symmetry of the two-torus moduli sub-space. In addition, we identify charge vecto...
متن کاملα′-Corrections to Extremal Dyonic Black Holes in Heterotic String Theory
We explicitly compute the entropy of an extremal dyonic black hole in heterotic string theory compactified on T 6 or K3 × T 2 by taking into account all the tree level four derivative corrections to the low energy effective action. For supersymmetric black holes the result agrees with the answer obtained earlier 1) by including only the Gauss-Bonnet corrections to the effective action 2) by inc...
متن کاملDyonic P-branes from Self-dual (p+1)-branes
The 'electromagnetic' Sl(2; Z) duality group in spacetime dimension D = 4k can be given a Kaluza-Klein interpretation in D = 4k + 2 as the modular group of a compactifying torus. We show how dyonic 2(k − 1)-branes in D = 4k can be interpreted as self-dual (2k − 1)-branes in D = 4k + 2 wound around the homology cycles of the torus. In particular, dyons of the D=4 N=4 heterotic string theory are ...
متن کاملHeterotic Phase Transitions and Singularities of the Gauge Dyonic String
Heterotic strings on R6 ×K3 generically appear to undergo some interesting new phase transition at that value of the string coupling for which the one of the six-dimensional gauge field kinetic energies changes sign. An exception is the E8 ×E8 string with equal instanton numbers in the two E8’s, which admits a heterotic/heterotic self-duality. In this paper, we generalize the dyonic string solu...
