Abstract

We show that the solitonic branes of ten-dimensional IIA/IIB string theory must satisfy, upon toroidal compactification, a specific wrapping rule in order to reproduce the number of half-supersymmetric solitonic branes that follows from a supergravity analysis. The realization of this wrapping rule suggests that IIA/IIB string theory contains a whole class of so-called non-standard Kaluza-Klein monopoles.
