String Solitons and T-duality

Understand

We construct for arbitrary dimensions a universal T-duality covariant expression for the Wess-Zumino terms of supersymmetric String Solitons in toroidally compactified string theories with 32 supercharges.

• The worldvolume fields occurring in the effective action of these String Solitons form either a vector or a tensor multiplet with 16 supercharges.
• We determine the dimensions of the conjugacy classes under T-duality to which these String Solitons belong.
• We do this in two steps.
