Four-Dimensional String/String Duality [PDF]
Nuclear Physics B, 1993 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

String-String Duality in Ten Dimensions [PDF]
Physics Letters B, 1995 The heterotic string occurs as a soliton of the type I superstring in ten dimensions, supporting the conjecture that these two theories are equivalent. The conjecture that the type IIB string is self-dual, with the strong coupling dynamics described by

Duality in String Cosmology [PDF]
, 1998 Scale factor duality, a truncated form of time dependent T-duality, is a symmetry of string effective action in cosmological backgrounds interchanging small and large scale factors.

Putting string/string duality to the test [PDF]
Nuclear Physics B, 1994 After simultaneous compactification of spacetime and worldvolume on $K3$, the $D=10$ heterotic fivebrane with gauge group $SO(32)$ behaves like a $D=6$ heterotic string with gauge group $SO(28) \times SU(2)$, but with Kac--Moody levels different from ...

T-duality and U-duality in toroidally-compactified strings [PDF]
Nuclear Physics B, 1997 We address the issue of T-duality and U-duality symmetries in the toroidally-compactified type IIA string. It is customary to take as a starting point the dimensionally-reduced maximal supergravity theories, with certain field strengths dualised such ...

Duality in String Theory [PDF]
Gauge Theories, Applied Supersymmetry and Quantum Gravity II, 1996 In this lecture we review some of the recent developments in string theory on an introductory and qualitative level. In particular we focus on S-T-U dualities of toroidally compactified ten-dimensional string theories and outline the connection to M ...

Cosmological Quantum String Vacua and String-String Duality [PDF]
Nuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements, 1996 Implications of string-string dualities to cosmological string vacua are discussed. Cosmological vacua of classical string theories comprise of disjoint classses mapped one another by scale-factor T-duality.

Heterotic/Type II Duality in D=4 and String/String Duality [PDF]
Nuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements, 1996 We discuss the structure of heterotic/type II duality in four dimensions as a consequence of string-string duality in six dimensions. We emphasize the new features in four dimensions which go beyond the six dimensional vacuum structure and pertain to the

K3 Surfaces and String Duality [PDF]
Surveys in Differential Geometry, 1996 The primary purpose of these lecture notes is to explore the moduli space of type IIA, type IIB, and heterotic string compactified on a K3 surface. The main tool which is invoked is that of string duality.

Physics Letters B, 1995 We discuss duality between Type IIA string theory, eleven-dimensional supergravity, and heterotic string theory in four spacetime dimensions with $N=1$ supersymmetry. We find theories whose infrared limit is trivial at enhanced symmetry points as well as
