Abstract<\/strong><\/div>\n
In recent years there has been a dramatic progress in the understanding of the non-perturbative structure of various physical theories.<\/div>\n
In particular string theory has been vastly developed during these years, where a lot of duality conjectures between the different string theories have arisen.<\/div>\n
The introductory text of this thesis is an attempt to describe this development in short and to make a brief overview of the subject.<\/div>\n
Special focus is put on solitonic solutions in various field theories, which is the corner stone for these duality conjectures.<\/div>\n
The introduction of supersymmetry is also essential for the understanding of duality by its natural way of handling BPS-states through the algebra.<\/div>\n
In string theory, which is not only a supersymmetric theory but also includes gravity, these studies are put together through the discovery of various p-brane solutions to the background field equations.<\/div>\n
The geometrical structure of these solutions is studied in some of the papers in this thesis.<\/div>\n
In a generalization to the treatment of p-branes as solutions which break the local vacuum symmetry, the theory of almost product structures (APS-theory) has arisen as the natural candidate to the study of the intricate geometry of these solutions.<\/div>\n
The last two papers deal with this ansatz where it is also seen that APS-theory is the most natural way of treating all kinds of splitting of manifolds including fibrations, Yang-Mills theoryand Kaluza-Klein theory.<\/div>\n
