    Description
    We discuss in a systematic way all the possible realizations of branes in M and type II theories as topological solitons in a brane antibrane system. The classification of all the possibilities is achieved by studying the Wess-Zumino terms in the worldvolume effective actions of the branes of M-theory and their reductions. We also discuss the implications of these constructions in the description of some BPS and non-BPS states in the strongly coupled Heterotic SO(32) theory.
