Summary

We described actions and equations of motion for general supergravities, out of which we derive extremal and black p-brane solutions. We find electric p-brane solutions and magnetic p-brane solutions and show the duality between them, then we generalize to black p-branes and Dp-branes in 10 dimensions, and then we discuss fundamental string and NS5-brane solutions in 10 dimensions. Tseytlin’s harmonic function rule for writing intersecting brane solutions is explained.
