Kantowski-Sachs String Cosmologies

We present new exact solutions of the low-energy-effective-action string equations with both dilaton φ and axion H fields non-zero. The background universe is of Kantowski-Sachs type. We consider the possibility of a pseudoscalar axion field h (H = eφ(dh)∗) that can be either time or space dependent. The case of time-dependent h reduces to that of a stiff perfect-fluid cosmology. For space-depe...

In the late 1880s, Sachs described the fatal genetic neurological disorder called amaurotic family idiocy, later renamed Tay-Sachs disease.
