Instantons and Solitons in Heterotic String Theory

High Energy Physics - Theory 2012-08-27 v1

Abstract

This is a transcript of lectures given at the Sixth Jorge Andre Swieca Summer School in Theoretical Physics. The subject of these lectures is soliton solutions of string theory. We construct a class of exact conformal field theories possessing a spacetime soliton or instanton interpretation and present a preliminary discussion of their physical properties.
