    The authors present a particularly symmetric formulation of the matter sector of the effective field theory of heterotic string in terms of a pair of matrix potentials that enter the effective action in a completely symmetric way. This formulation allows them to construct new solutions for the hole theory starting from a solution for the truncated theory. Then they give an explicit \(O(d+1, d+n+1)\)-invariant formulation of the effective theory in terms of a matrix vector endowed with an \(O(d+1, d+n+1)\)-invariant scalar product, and this formulation opens the possibility of applying a solution-generating technique in order to construct new families of solutions.
