Four-Dimensional String/String Duality

Abstract

We present supersymmetric soliton solutions of the four-dimensional heterotic string corresponding to monopoles, strings and domain walls. These solutions admit the D=10D=10 interpretation of a fivebrane wrapped around 55, 44 or 33 of the 66 toroidally compactified dimensions and are arguably exact to all orders in α\alpha'. The solitonic string solution exhibits an SL(2,Z)SL(2,Z) {\it strong/weak coupling} duality which however corresponds to an SL(2,Z)SL(2,Z) {\it target space} duality of the fundamental string.
