String Solitons and Black Hole Thermodynamics
Ramzi R. Khuri
We discuss the role of string solitons in duality and examine the feature of compositeness, which allows for the interpretation of general solutions as bound states of supersymmetr…
Supersymmetry, Duality and Bound States
Ramzi R. Khuri
-brane solutions of low-energy string actions have traditionally provided the first evidence for the existence of string dualities, in which fundamental and solitonic -branes…
Low-Energy Scattering of Black Holes and p-branes in String Theory
R. R. Khuri, R. C. Myers
We discuss the low-energy dynamics of generalized extremal higher membrane black hole solutions of string theory and higher membrane theories following Manton's prescription for mu…
Spacetime Supersymmetry and Duality in String Theory
Ramzi R. Khuri
I discuss the role of spacetime supersymmetry in the interplay between strong/weak coupling duality and target space duality in string theory which arises in string/string duality.…
Black Hole Solutions in String Theory
Ramzi R. Khuri
We present two-parameter solutions of the low-energy four-dimensional heterotic string which in the extremal limit reduce to supersymmetric monopole, string and domain wall solutio…
Classical String Solitons
Ramzi R. Khuri
We discuss some recent work in the field of classical solitonic solutions in string theory. In particular, we construct instanton and monopole solutions and discuss the dynamics of…
