Exact Type IIB Superstring Backgrounds

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-30 v3

Abstract

We obtain a family of type IIB superstring backgrounds involving Ramond-Ramond fields in ten dimensions starting from a heterotic string background with vanishing gauge fields. To this end the global SL(2,R)SL(2,R) symmetry of the type IIB equations of motion is implemented as a solution generating transformation. Using a geometrical analysis we show that the type IIB backgrounds obtained are solutions to all orders in α\alpha^{\prime}.
