Abstract

We discuss the relationship between two-dimensional (2D) dilaton gravity models and sine-Gordon-like field theories. We show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the solutions of 2D dilaton gravity and the solutions of a (two fields) generalization of the sine-Gordon model. In particular, we find a connection between the soliton solutions of the generalized sine-Gordon model and extremal black hole solutions of 2D dilaton gravity. As a by-product of our calculations we find a easy way to generate cosmological solutions of 2D dilaton gravity.
