  Abstract:
We consider the gauging of SL(2,R) and SL(2,R)×U(1) WZNW model by their nilpotent subgroups. The resulting space-times of the corresponding sigma models are seen to collapse to the one-dimensional Liouville theory in the first case, and lead to an extremal three-dimensional black string in the second case. We show that these results are also obtained by boosting the Witten black hole solution and Horne and Horowitz black string solution respectively.
