Black Holes and Solitons in String Theory

arXiv:hep-th/9710046 · doi:10.1016/S0370-1573(99)00037-X

Abstract

We review various aspects of classical solutions in string theories. Emphasis is placed on their supersymmetry properties, their special roles in string dualities and microscopic interpretations. Topics include black hole solutions in string theories on tori and N=2 supergravity theories; p-branes; microscopic interpretation of black hole entropy. We also review aspects of dualities and BPS states.
