Abstract

A new class of Weyl invariant backgrounds are presented in terms of the metric GμνG_{\mu\nu} and the anti-symmetric Kalb-Ramond fields BμνB_{\mu\nu}. The ten-dimensional spacetime is a product of four-dimensional flat spacetime and curved six-dimensional spacetime having nonvanishing Ricci tensors. The non-vanishing Kalb-Ramond field strengths cannot be written globally as H=dBH=dB, being of the monopole type. Nevertheless they define homogeneous spacetime with no singularity.
