Soliton solutions in spacetimes with two spacelike killing fields

“…Einstein-Rosen metrics are interesting for a number of reasons [6]. (For reviews see, e.g., [7,8]). Spatial homogeneity is broken along one direction and they admit an Abelian isometry group, G 2 , that acts on two-dimensional spacelike orbits.…”

Families of anisotropic and inhomogeneous string cosmologies containing non-trivial dilaton and axion fields are derived by applying the global symmetries of the string effective action to a generalized Einstein-Rosen metric. The models exhibit a twodimensional group of Abelian isometries. In particular, two classes of exact solutions are found that represent inhomogeneous generalizations of the Bianchi type VI h cosmology. The asymptotic behaviour of the solutions is investigated and further applications are briefly discussed.

“…can be generated starting from vacuum solutions to Einstein's equations with the same symmetry. For the sake of simplicity, the discussion will be restricted here to a particular case of a well-known general procedure [26,11,27,13,14,28,29]. The generic diagonal line-element with G 2 symmetry will be taken as a starting point:…”

I present here a new algorithm to generate families of inhomogeneous massless scalar field cosmologies. New spacetimes, having a single isometry, are generated by breaking the homogeneity of massless scalar field G 2 models along one direction. As an illustration of the technique I construct cosmological models which in their late time limit represent perturbations in the form of gravitational and scalar waves propagating on a non-static inhomogeneous background. Several features of the obtained metrics are discussed, such as their early and late time limits, structure of singularities and physical interpretation.
