String--Kaluza--Klein Cosmology

We generalize a five dimensional black hole solution of low energy effective string theory to arbitrary constant spatial curvature. After interchanging the signature of time and radius we reduce the 5d solution to four dimensions and obtain that way a four dimensional isotropic cosmological space time. The solution contains a dilaton, modulus field and torsion. Several features of the solution are discussed.

Cosmological String Solutions by Dimensional Reduction

We obtain cosmological four dimensional solutions of the low energy effective string theory by reducing a five dimensional black hole, and black hole--de Sitter solution of the Einstein gravity down to four dimensions. The appearance of a cosmological constant in the five dimensional Einstein--Hilbert action produces a special dilaton potential in the four dimensional effective string action. Cosmological scenarios implemented by our solutions are discussed. (Talk presented at: ``27th Symposium on the Theory of Elementary Particles'' Wendisch--Rietz, September 7--11, 1993)
