General Static (Intersecting) Brane Solutions
Abstract
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.
