We study $AdS\times X$ null deformations arising as near horizon limits of D3-brane analogs of inhomogenous plane waves. Restricting to normalizable deformations for the $AdS_5$ case, these generically correspond in the dual field theory to…
The large N limit of extremal non-supersymmetric Type-I five-dimensional string black holes is studied from the point of view of D-branes. We find that the agreement between the D-brane and the black-hole picture is due to an asymptotic…
An inflating brane-world can be created from ``nothing'' together with its Anti-de Sitter (AdS) bulk. The resulting space-time has compact spatial sections bounded by the brane. During inflation, the continuum of KK modes is separated from…
We study a stationary "black" brane in M/superstring theory. Assuming BPS-type relations between the first-order derivatives of metric functions, we present general stationary black brane solutions with a traveling wave for the Einstein…

Supersymmetric zero-brane and one-brane probes in the squashed $AdS_2\times S^3$ near-horizon geometry of the BMPV black hole are studied. Supersymmetric zero-brane probes stabilized by orbital angular momentum on the $S^3$ are found and…
We study electromagnetically charged dilatonic black brane solutions in arbitrary dimensions with flat transverse spaces, that are asymptotically AdS. This class of solutions includes spacetimes which possess a bulk region where the metric…
In this paper, we present an AdS black hole solution with Ricci flat horizon in Einstein-phantom scalar theory. The phantom scalar fields just depend on the transverse coordinates $x$ and $y$, and which are parameterized by the parameter…
We study charged AdS black hole solutions in five-dimensional Chern-Simons supergravity. The minimal supergroup containing such AdSxU(1) configurations is the superunitary group SU(2,2|N). For this model, we find analytic black hole…
One of the important consequences of the no-force condition for BPS states is the existence of stable static multi-center solutions, at least in ungauged supergravities. This observation has been at the heart of many developments in brane…
We consider asymptotically AdS black brane solutions that are dual to CFTs with periodic dependence on the spatial directions, arising from either a spontaneous or an explicit breaking of translational symmetry. We derive a simple…
We present classical solutions for a D5 and NS5-branes in a pp-wave background. The worldvolume coordinates for these branes lie along a six dimensional pp-wave configuration obtained from $AdS_3 \times S_3$ in a Penrose limit. One in…
We study intersecting D-branes in type 0 string theories and show that the D$p_{\pm}$-brane bound states obey similar intersecting rules as the D$p$-branes of the type II theories. The D$5_{\pm}$-D$1_{\pm}$ brane system is studied in…
We present exact dynamical and inhomogeneous solutions in three-dimensional AdS gravity with a conformally coupled scalar field. They contain stealth configurations of the scalar field overflying the BTZ spacetime and also solutions with a…
We study the collision of a brane with a black hole. Our aim is to explore the topology changing process of perforation of a brane. The brane is described as a field theoretical domain wall in the context of an axion-like model consisting…
We study M/D-branes in a null-brane background. By taking a near horizon limit, one is left with cosmological models in the corresponding Poincar\'e patches. To deal with their usual horizons, we either extend these models to global AdS or…
We show that the supergravity solutions for 1/4-BPS intersecting systems of M2 and M5 branes are completely characterized by a single ``maze'' function that satisfies a non-linear ``maze'' equation similar to the Monge-Amp\`ere equation. We…
We discuss the properties of black holes in brane-world scenarios where our universe is viewed as a four-dimensional sub-manifold of some higher-dimensional spacetime. We consider in detail such a model where four-dimensional spacetime lies…
We present new rotating black brane solutions which solve Einstein's equations with cosmological constant $\Lambda$ in arbitrary dimension $d$. For negative $\Lambda$, the branes naturally appear in AdS supergravity compactifications, and…
The bulk gauge fields on 5d AdS black hole are discussed. We construct the bulk (and the corresponding brane) gauge propagator when black hole has large radius. The properties of gauge and ghost propagators are studied in both, minkowski or…
