We study supersymmetry breaking due to the presence of branes on anti-de Sitter space and obtain conditions for brane orientations not to break too many supersymmetries. Using the conditions, we construct a brane configuration corresponding…

The problem of finding supersymmetric brane configurations in the near-horizon attractor geometry of a Calabi-Yau black hole with magnetic-electric charges (p^I,q_I) is considered. Half-BPS configurations, which are static for some choice…

We start with BPS-saturated configurations of two (orthogonally) intersecting M-branes and use the electro-magnetic duality or dimensional reduction along a boost, in order to obtain new p-brane bound states. In the first case the resulting…

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…

A first-order `BPS' equation is obtained for 1/8 supersymmetric intersections of soliton-membranes (lumps) of supersymmetric (4+1)-dimensional massless sigma models, and a special non-singular solution is found that preserves 1/4…

Two subtle aspects of brane intersections are investigated. The first concerns the `half-branes' that arise in discussions of the Hanany-Witten effect, often in the D0/D8 setting. The second involves the validity of seemingly singular…

We explicitly construct BPS domain walls interpolating between neighboring chirally asymmetric vacua in a model for large N pure supersymmetric QCD. The BPS equations for the corresponding ${\bf Z}_N$ symmetric order parameter effective…

We show that a class of extremal four-dimensional supersymmetric ``high-branes'', i.e. string and domain wall solutions, can be interpreted as intersections of four ten-dimensional Dirichlet branes. These $d=4$ solutions are related, via…

In these lectures we explain the concept of supergravity p-branes and BPS black holes. Introducing an audience of general relativists to all the necessary geometry related with extended supergravity (special geometry, symplectic embeddings…

We study geometries produced by brane intersections preserving eight supercharges. Typical examples of such configurations are given by fundamental strings ending on Dp branes and we construct gravity solutions describing such…

We argue for the existence of many new 1/4 BPS states in N=4 SU(N_c) Super-Yang-Mills theory with N_c>=3, by constructing them from supersymmetric string webs whose external strings terminate on parallel D3-branes. The masses of the string…

We study non-BPS black hole solutions to ungauged supergravity with 8 supercharges coupled to vector multiplets in four and five dimensions. We identify a large class of five dimensional non-BPS solutions, which we call "almost BPS", that…

We present intersecting p-brane solutions of eleven-dimensional supergravity (M-branes) which upon toroidal compactification reduce to non-extreme ``rotating'' black holes. We identify harmonic functions, associated with each M-brane, and…

We construct four dimensional intersecting D6-brane models that have locally the spectrum of the N=1 Supersymmetric Standard Model. All open {\em visible} string sectors share the same N=1 supersymmetry. As expected in these supersymmetric…

With the ansatz that there exist local or global discrete symmetries in the special branes' neighborhoods, we can construct the extra dimension models with only zero modes, or the models which have large extra dimensions and arbitrarily…

The supersymmetry arises in certain theories of fermions coupled to gauge fields and gravity in a spacetime of 11 dimensions. The dynamical brane background has mainly been studied for the class of purely bosonic solutions only, but recent…

In the process of identifying heterotic and Type $II$ BPS string states with extremal dilaton black holes, it has been suggested that solutions with scalar/Maxwell parameters $a=\sqrt{3}$, $1$, $1/\sqrt{3}$ and $0$ correspond to $1-$, $2-$,…

Using a simple hypothesis about the degrees of freedom of intersecting branes we find a microscopic counting argument that reproduces the entropy of a class of BPS black holes of type IIA string theory on general Calabi Yau three folds.

We study quantum corrections in the gravitational path integral around nearly $1/16$-BPS black holes in asymptotically $AdS_5 \times S^5$ space, dual to heavy states in 4D $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills. The analysis provides a…

We compute how bulk loops renormalize both bulk and brane effective interactions for codimension-two branes in 6D gauged chiral supergravity, as functions of the brane tension and brane-localized flux. We do so by explicitly integrating out…
