Asymptotic Symmetries of Three-Dimensional Black Strings

Abstract

We determine a consistent phase space for a theory consisting in the Einstein-Hilbert action coupled to matter fields (dilaton, one-form, two-form) and containing three-dimensional black strings (the Horne-Horowitz solution and generalizations thereof). The theory at hand is the low energy effective action for the bosonic sector of heterotic string theory. We find a consistent set of boundary conditions whose algebra of asymptotic charges consist in a single Virasoro algebra supplemented by three global $u(1)$ generators. We also discuss the thermodynamics of the zero-mode solutions and point out some peculiar features of this system.
