Non Perturbative Check of N=2, D=4 Heterotic/Type II Duality

Abstract
We review here some of the checks of string-string duality between N=2, D=4 Heterotic and Type II models. The heterotic low energy field theory is reproduced on the type II side. It is also shown to be a generalization in the string context of the rigid Yang-Mills theory of Seiberg and Witten which is exactly known. The non perturbative information of this rigid theory is then recovered on the type II side. This talk is based on a work done in collaboration with I. Antoniadis.
