Magnetic monopoles in string theory

Jerome P. Gauntlett, Jeffrey A. Harvey, James T. Liu
1993
Magnetic monopole solutions to heterotic string theory are discussed in toroidal compactifications to four spacetime dimensions. Particular emphasis is placed on the relation to previously studied five-brane solutions in ten dimensions and on the possibility of constructing exact monopole solutions related to symmetric five-branes.
