The Self-Dual String Soliton

Abstract

We obtain a BPS soliton of the M theory fivebrane's equations of motion representing a supersymmetric self-dual string. The resulting solution is then dimensionally reduced and used to obtain 0-brane and (p-2)-brane solitons on D-p-branes.

21 pages phyzzx. The discussion of the supersymmetry transformations and the fivebrane equations of motion has been significantly extended. Some references have been added. The results are the same as the previous version
