General Static (Intersecting) Brane Solutions

Understand

We present one extra parameter worth of new static brane and intersecting brane solutions in string/M theory.

• These general solutions may be obtained by solving the equations of motion directly.
• But, in this letter, we first obtain the general eleven dimensional vacuum solutions, and then generate the brane solutions by U duality operations -- namely boosting, dimensional reduction and uplifting, and S and T dualties.
• Such general solutions will be needed in the study of higher dimensional brane stars and their collapse.
