Abstract
Solitons in noncommutative scalar field theories possess many stringy features. In particular, multi-solitons in these theories behave like multiple D- branes. A useful moduli space description for multi-solitons exists which reproduces stringy features of D-brane moduli spaces in a simple way via properties of special projection operators. In particular, they are equivalent to a Hilbert scheme resolution of symmetric product spaces.
