We construct a class of intersecting brane solutions with horizon geometries of the form adS_k x S^l x S^m x E^n. We describe how all these solutions are connected through the addition of a wave and/or monopoles. All solutions exhibit…
Smooth time dependent supergravity solutions corresponding to analytic continuations of Kerr black holes are constructed and limits with a local de Sitter phase are found. These solutions are non-singular due to a helical twist in space and…
We find a new class of time-dependent brane solutions in supergravities in arbitrary dimensions $D$. These are general intersecting light-like branes (null-branes), and their superposition and intersection rules are obtained. This is…
We studied dimensional reduction and T-duality in spacelike brane solutions of 10 or 11 dimensional supergravity, including spacelike counterparts of wave and monopole solutions. Dimensional reduction is well-defined if, and only if, the…

We present an alternative formulation of duality-symmetric eleven-dimensional supergravity with both three-form and six-form gauge fields. Instead of the recently-proposed scalar auxiliary field, we use a simpler lagrangian with a…
We obtain explicit time dependent brane solutions in M-theory as well as in string theory by solving the reduced equations of motion (which follow from 11-d supergravity) for a class of brane solutions in curved backgrounds. The behaviour…
1-brane nonmaximally supersymmetric solutions of D=10 chiral supergravity are discussed. In the dual frame, their near brane geometry is the product of a 3-dimensional domain wall spacetime and a 7-dimensional homogeneous Einstein space…
We construct a family of supersymmetric solutions in time-dependent backgrounds in supergravity theories. One class of the solutions are intersecting brane solutions and another class are brane solutions in pp-wave backgrounds, and their…
By directly solving the equations of motion we obtain the time dependent solutions of supergravities with dilaton and a $q$-form field-strength in arbitrary dimensions. The metrics are assumed to have the symmetries ISO($p+1$) $\times$…
A low-energy background field solution is presented which describes several D-membranes oriented at angles with respect to one another. The mass and charge densities for this configuration are computed and found to saturate the BPS bound,…
In the first part of this paper we find supergravity solutions corresponding to branes on worldvolumes of the form $R^d \times \Sigma$ where $\Sigma$ is a Riemann surface. These theories arise when we wrap branes on holomorphic Riemann…
A geometric string solution has background fields in overlapping coordinate patches related by diffeomorphisms and gauge transformations, while for a non-geometric background this is generalised to allow transition functions involving…
In this note, we apply a special metric ansatz to simplify the equations of motion for gravitational systems. Then we construct charged brane solutions in $D=n+p+2$ dimensions which have spherical symmetry of $S^n$ and translational…
