Scalar fields are associated with positive roots or Cartan generators

K is a constant by means of the field equations of scalar fields.
The matter field equations are geodesic equations in the target manifold U/H
Geodesics are fixed by initial conditions
The starting point The direction of the initial tangent vector
Since U/H is a homogeneous space all initial points are equivalent
Initial tangent vectors span a representation of H and by means of H transformations can be reduced to normal form.
The orbits of geodesics contain as many parameters as that normal form!!!

Indeed we have the following identification of the

and since
We can conclude that any tangent vector can be brought to have only CSA components by means of H transformations

The cosmological solutions in D=10 are therefore parametrized by 8 essential parameters. They can be obtained from an 8 parameter generating solution of the sigma model by means of SO(16) rotations.
The essential point is to study these solutions and their oxidations
Let us consider the geodesics equation explicitly
and turn them to the anholonomic basis
The strategy to solve the differential equations consists now of two steps:
•First solve the first order differential system for the tangent vectors
•Then solve for the coset representative that reproduces such tangent vectors
The Main Differential system:

The paradigma of the A2 Lie Algebra
The A2 differential system
The H compensator method
THIS A SYSTEM OF DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS FOR THE H-PARAMETERS
The Compensator EquationsSolving the differential system for the compensators is fully equivalent to solving the original system of equations for the tangent vectors
The compensator system however is triangular and can be integrated by quadratures
For instance for the A2 system these equations are
Explicit Integration of the compensator equations for the A2 system
The solution contains three integration constants. Together with the two constanst of the generating solution this makes five.
We had five equations of the first order. Hence we have the general integral !!
AS AN EXAMPLE WE DISCUSS
THE SIMPLEST SOLUTION (One rotation only )
and SOME OF ITS OXIDATIONS
Explicit solution for the tangent vectorsand the scalar fields after one rotation
Next we consider the equations for the scalar fields:
The equations for the scalar fields can always be integrated because they are already reduced to quadratures. The form of the vielbein is obtained by calculating the left invariant 1—form from the coset representative:
The order is crucial: from left to right, decreasing grade. This makes exact comparison with supergravity
This is the final solution for the scalar fields, namely the parameters in the Solvable Lie algebra representation
This solution can be OXIDED in many different ways to a complete solution of D=10 Type IIA or Type IIB supergravity. This depends on the various ways of embedding the A2 Lie algebra into the E8 Lie algebra.
The physical meaning of the various oxidations is very much different, but they are related by HIDDEN SYMMETRY transformations.

Choosing an example of type 4 embedding
Physically this example corresponds to a superposition of three extended objects:
1. An euclidean NS 1-brane in directions 34 or NS5 in directions 1256789
2. An euclidean D1-brane in directions 89 or D5 in directions 1234567
3. An euclidean D3-brane in directions 3489
If we oxide our particular solution...Note that B34 = 0 ; C89= 0 since in our particular solution the tangent vector fields associated with the roots are zero. Yet we have also the second Cartan swtiched on and this remembers that the system contains not only the D3 brane but also the 5-branes. This memory occurs through the behaviour of the dilaton field which is not constant rather it has a non trivial evolution.
The rolling of the dilaton introduces a distinction among the directions pertaining to the D3 brane which have now different evolutions.
