String Solutions to Supergravity

Abstract

We find the comlete solution to ten-dimensional supergravity coupled to a three-form field strength, given the ``standard ansatz" for the fields, and show that in addition to the well-known elementary and solitonic (heterotic) string solutions, one of the possibilities is an (unstable) elementary type I string solution.
