【 摘 要 】

We consider the compactification on a circle of the Heterotic Superstring effective action to first order in the Regge slope parameter α′ and re-derive the α′-corrected Buscher rules first found in ref. [42], proving the T duality invariance of the dimensionally-reduced action to that order in α′. We use Iyer and Wald’s prescription to derive an entropy formula that can be applied to black-hole solutions which can be obtained by a single non-trivial compactification on a circle and discuss its invariance under the α′-corrected T duality transformations. This formula has been successfully applied to α′-corrected 4-dimensional non-extremal Reissner-Nordström black holes in ref. [21] and we apply it here to a heterotic version of the Strominger-Vafa 5-dimensional extremal black hole.
