Dimensional reduction of generalized gravity theories or string theories generically yields dilaton fields in the lower-dimensional effective theory. Thus at the level of D=4 theories, and cosmology many models contain more than just one…
The classical black hole background of two-dimensional string theory is examined after including the effect of the tachyon field. Keeping all terms upto $O(T^2)$, and making no other approximations, the only consistent classical solution to…
We consider, in five dimensions, the effective action from heterotic string which includes quantum gravity corrections up to (a')^2. The expansion, in the string frame, is in terms of |a'R|, where R is the scalar curvature and uses the…
It is argued that the existence of constant dilaton field solutions is a generic feature of string-inspired dilaton gravity. Such solutins arise in the extreme limit of black hole metrics. It is shown that in a strong coupling region…

One of the most important achievements in general relativity has been discovery of the $(2+1)$-dimensional black hole solutions of Einstein gravity in anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf69}, 1849 (1992)]. In this paper, we…
The 1--loop string background equations with axion and dilaton fields are shown to be integrable in four dimensions in the presence of two commuting Killing symmetries and $\delta c = 0$. Then, in analogy with reduced gravity, there is an…
We derive several new solutions in three-dimensional stringy gravity. The solutions are obtained with the help of string duality transformations. They represent stationary configurations with horizons, and are surrounded by (quasi)…
Graviton-dilaton background field equations in three space-time dimensions, following from the string effective action are solved when the metric has only time dependence. By taking one of the two space dimensions as compact, our solution…
