Abstract

We study a target space geometry of the form AdS3×RAdS_3 \times {\bf R} for the (2,1)(2,1) heterotic string. This target space arises as the near horizon limit of a solitonic configuration in 2+2 dimensions. We investigate the null isometries of this space and discuss the reduction to 1+1 dimensions of the target space geometry arising from the consistent gauging of one of these isometries.
