abstract

Noncompact groups, similar to those that appeared in various supergravity theories in the 1970's, have been turning up in recent studies of string theory. First it was discovered that moduli spaces of toroidal compactification are given by noncompact groups modded out by their maximal compact subgroups and discrete duality groups. Then it was found that many other moduli spaces have analogous descriptions. More recently, noncompact group symmetries have turned up in effective actions used to study string cosmology and other classical configurations. This paper explores these noncompact groups in the case of toroidal compactification both from the viewpoint of low-energy effective field theory, using the method of dimensional reduction, and from the viewpoint of the string theory world sheet. The conclusion is that all these symmetries are intimately related. In particular, we find that Chern--Simons terms in the three-form field strength $H_{\mu\nu\rho}$ play a crucial role.

Non-supersymmetric F1-P black rings

hep-th · 2026-01-08 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Singly and doubly spinning non-supersymmetric F1-P black ring solutions are constructed in 5D supergravity, with the doubly spinning case admitting an extremal limit where entropy S equals 2 pi times the S^2 angular momentum J_phi.

Heterotic Black Holes in Duality-Invariant Formalism

hep-th · 2025-11-26 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

The work analyzes the dual geometry of charged black holes in a T-duality invariant heterotic string theory in two dimensions and extends a prior non-perturbative solution to multiple abelian gauge fields.
