Brane Theory Solitons
Abstract
Description
Field theories that describe {\sl small} fluctuations of branes are limits of `brane theories' that describe {\sl large} fluctuations. In particular, supersymmetric sigma-models arise in this way. These lectures discuss the soliton solutions of the associated `brane theories' and their relation to calibrations.
