Sine-Gordon Solitons as Heterotic Fivebranes

الأصل · EN

The Euclidean analogues of the sine-Gordon solitons are used as sources of the heterotic fivebrane solutions in the ten-dimensional heterotic string theory. Some properties of these soliton solutions are discussed. These solitons in principle can appear as string-like objects in 4-dimensional space-time after proper compactifications.
