Abstract

A family of type IIB superstring backgrounds involving Ramond-Ramond fields are obtained in ten dimensions starting from a K model through a generalization of our recent results. The unbroken global SL(2, R) symmetry of the type IIB equations of motion are implemented in this context as a solution generating transformation. A geometrical analysis, based on the tensor structure of the higher order α terms in the equations of motion, is employed to show that these backgrounds are exact.
