Abstract
In recent work a multimonopole solution of heterotic string theory was obtained. The monopoles are noted to be stable, in contrast with anal ogous solutions of Einstein-Maxwell or Yang-Mills-dilaton theory. The existence of this and other classes of stable solitonic solutions in s tring theory thus provides a possible test for low-energy string theor y as distinct from other gauge + gravity theories.
