- Characterization of solitons in 4D and 5D
- Analysis of black hole solutions in higher dimensions
- Implications for quantum gravity and string theory

## Abstract

Two lectures given in Paris in 1985. They were circulated as a preprint Solitons And Black Holes In Four-Dimensions, Five-Dimensions. G.W. Gibbons (Cambridge U.) . PRINT-85-0958 (CAMBRIDGE), (Received Dec 1985). 14pp. and appeared in print in De Vega, H.J. ( Ed.), Sanchez, N. ( Ed.) : Field Theory, Quantum Gravity and Strings*, 46-59 and Preprint - GIBBONS, G.W. (REC.OCT.85) 14p. I have scanned the original, reformatted and and corrected various typos.
