SL(N+1,R) Toda Solitons in Supergravities

Abstract

We construct $(D-3)$-brane and instanton solutions using $N \le 10-D$ one-form field strengths in $D$ dimensions, and show that the equations of motion can be cast into the form of the $SL(N+1,R)$ Toda equations. For generic values of the charges, the solutions are non-supersymmetric; however, they reduce to the previously-known multiply-charged supersymmetric solutions when appropriate charges vanish.
