Supersymmetric Solutions in Three-Dimensional Heterotic String Theory

arXiv:hep-th/9706032 · doi:10.1016/S0550-3213(97)00671-8

Abstract

We consider the low-energy effective field theory of heterotic string theory compactified on a seven-torus, and we construct electrically charged as well as more general solitonic solutions. These solutions preserve 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8 of N=8, D=3 supersymmetry and have Killing spinors which exist due to cancellation of holonomies. The associated space-time line elements do not exhibit the conical structure that often arises in 2+1 dimensional gravity theories.
