NEW PROGRESS IN STATIONARY D=N=4 SUPERGRAVITY
A bosonic sector of the four-dimensional low-energy heterotic string theory with two Abelian gauge fields is considered in the stationary case. A new 4× 4 unitary null-curvature matrix representation of the theory is derived and the corresponding formulation based on the use of a new 2 × 2 Ernst type matrix complex potential is developed. The group of hidden symmetries is described and classified in the matrix-valued quasi general relativity form. A subgroup of charge symmetries is constructed and representation which transforms linearly under the action of this symmetry subgroup is established. Also the solution generation procedure based on the application of the total charge symmetry subgroup to the stationary Einstein–Maxwell theory is analyzed.
