N=2 Heterotic Stringy Cosmic Strings
  We construct solitonic string solutions of N=2 four-dimensional heterotic models of rank three, four and five. These finite energy configurations have constant dilaton while the moduli fields vary over space-time with jumps at the location of the string cores consistent with the T-duality groups SL(2,Z), SL(2,Z) X SL(2,Z) and Sp(4,Z). The solutions are expressed in terms of modular forms of the T-duality group. They break half of the supersymmetries and the vacuum contain a certain number of solitonic strings in order the singularities to be resolved in a Ricci flat way.
