BPS States, String Duality, and Nodal Curves on K3
Shing-Tung Yau, Eric Zaslow
We describe the counting of BPS states of Type II strings on K3 by relating the supersymmetric cycles of genus to the number of rational curves with double points on K3. Th…

Monopole and Dyon Bound States in N=2 Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theories
S. Sethi, M. Stern, E. Zaslow
We study the existence of monopole bound states saturating the BPS bound in N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories. We describe how the existence of such bound states relates to th…
