Sine-Gordon Solitons as Heterotic Fivebranes
arXiv:hep-th/9205035 · doi:10.1016/0370-2693(92)91105-I
Abstract
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.
