“…Clearly the d = 4 lagrangian is then not a standard d = 4 supergravity lagrangian 6 . The three-index gauge fields arise from the Kaluza-Klein reduction of the d = 10 six-index gauge field (which is the dual of the IIB RR two-index gauge field).…”

We show that a class of extremal four-dimensional supersymmetric "highbranes", 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 T -duality in ten dimensions, to the four-dimensional extremal Maxwell/scalar black holes that are characterized by a scalar coupling parameter a with a = 0, 1/ √ 3, 1, √ 3.

“…Some extremal solutions can be understood in terms of bound states [2,3,4,5] or as intersections of D-branes (M -branes) in ten (eleven) dimensions [6,7,8,9,10,11]. The construction of lower dimensional solutions in terms of ten-dimensional ones suggests a possible p-brane classification scheme.…”

In this Report we review the microscopic formulation of the five dimensional black hole of type IIB string theory in terms of the D1-D5 brane system. The emphasis here is more on the brane dynamics than on supergravity solutions. We show how the low energy brane dynamics, combined with crucial inputs from AdS/CFT correspondence, leads to a derivation of black hole thermodynamics and the rate of Hawking radiation. Our approach requires a detailed exposition of the gauge theory and conformal field theory of the D1-D5 system. We also discuss some applications of the AdS/CFT correspondence in the context of black hole formation in three dimensions by thermal transition and by collision of point particles.

“…M2 branes are intersecting each other in angles [35,36], remaining BPS. If they are not terminating on M5 branes, two intersecting M2 branes are meeting at a point in 45910 space.…”

In the Coulomb phase of the 6-dim (2,0) superconformal theories, the 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 BPS selfdual string webs are argued to exist such that the spatial SO(5) and internal SO(5) rotations are correlated. The basic constituents are 1/2 BPS strings and 1/4 BPS string junctions. One support comes from the existence of the similar BPS dyonic monostring webs in 5-dim maximally supersymmetric gauge theories. Another comes from the study of the supersymmetry of the intersecting M2 brane stripes terminating on M5 branes. We also discuss the related BPS webs in little string theories and other theories.
