Abstract

We present supersymmetric soliton solutions of the four-dimensional heterotic string corresponding to monopoles, strings and domain walls. These solutions admit the D=10 interpretation of a fivebrane wrapped around 5, 4 or 3 of the 6 toroidally compactified dimensions and are arguably exact to all orders in α'. The solitonic string solution exhibits an SL(2,Z) strong/weak coupling duality which however corresponds to an SL(2,Z) target space duality of the fundamental string.
