Consistent Four-derivative Heterotic Truncations and the Kerr-Sen Solution
arXiv:2509.07069 · doi:10.1103/h7kw-7cym
Abstract
Four-derivative heterotic supergravity (without gauge fields) reduced on a -dimensional torus leads to half-maximal supergravity coupled to vector multiplets, and it is known that removing the vector multiplets is a consistent truncation of the theory. We find a new consistent truncation of four-derivative heterotic supergravity on a torus that keeps the vector multiplets and precisely reproduces the bosonic action of heterotic supergravity (with heterotic gauge fields). We show that both truncations have an symmetry when reduced on a -dimensional torus and demonstrate how this embeds in the symmetry that one gets from reducing on a -dimensional torus without truncation. We then use our new truncation to obtain four-derivative corrections to the Kerr-Sen solution and compute thermodynamic quantities and multipole moments. Finally, we compare the Kerr-Sen solutions of the actions corresponding to the two different choices of truncation with the Kerr solution, the Kerr-Newman solution, and each other, and show that they have distinct four-derivative multipole structures.
