Heterotic 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...
متن کاملHeterotic Modular Invariants and Level–rank Duality *
New heterotic modular invariants are found using the level-rank duality of affine Kac-Moody algebras. They provide strong evidence for the consistency of an infinite list of heterotic Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) conformal field theories. We call the basic construction the dual-flip, since it flips chirality (exchanges left and right movers) and takes the level-rank dual. We compare the dual-flip t...
متن کاملHeterotic string solutions and coset conformal field theories
Abstract We discuss solutions of the heterotic string theory which are analogous to bosonic and superstring backgrounds related to coset conformal field theories. A class of exact ‘left-right symmetric’ solutions is obtained by supplementing the metric, antisymmetric tensor and dilaton of the superstring solutions by the gauge field background equal to the generalised Lorentz connection with to...
متن کاملExact Models of Extremal Dyonic 4D Black Hole Solutions of Heterotic String Theory
Families of exact (0, 2) supersymmetric conformal field theories of magnetically and electrically charged extremal 4D black hole solutions of heterotic string theory are presented. They are constructed using a (0, 1) supersymmetric SL(2, IR)× SU(2) Wess–Zumino–Witten model where anomalously embedded U(1)×U(1) subgroups are gauged. Crucial cancelations of the U(1) anomalies coming from the super...
متن کاملOrbifolds and Solitons
We propose a conformal field theory description of a solitonic heterotic string in type IIA superstring theory compactified on K3, generalizing previous work by J. Harvey, A. Strominger and A. Sen. In ten dimensions the construction gives a fivebrane which is related to the fundamental type II string by electric – magnetic duality, and to the Dirichlet fivebrane of type IIB string theory by SL(...
