On the Heterotic Dipole at Strong Coupling

Abstract

We analyse the dipole solution of heterotic string theory in four dimensions. It has the structure of monopole and anti-monopole connected by flux line (string). Due to growing coupling near the poles, the length of the string diverges. However, exploiting the self-duality of heterotic string theory in four dimension, we argue that this string is correctly described in terms of dual variables.
