Branes for Relativists
Jiro Soda
Abstract
Recently, branes in supergravity have become an indispensable tool even for traditional relativists. The purpose of this manuscript is to provide a pedagogical account of the brane technology so that the relativists can use branes in their study. The type IIA supergravity theory is mainly discussed and other cases are briefly mentioned. The repulson singularity is also explained as an interesting application.
