Abstract
We give explicit constructions of static, non-supersymmetric p-brane (for p ≤ d−4, where d is the space-time dimensionality and including p = −1 or D-instanton) solutions of type II supergravities in diverse dimensions. A subclass of these are the static counterpart of the time dependent solutions obtained in [3]. Depending on the forms of the non-extremality function G(r) defined in the text, we discuss various possible solutions and their region of validity. We show how one class of these solutions interpolate between the p-brane–anti-p-brane solutions and the usual BPS p-brane solutions in d = 10, while the other class, although have BPS limits, do not have such an interpretation. We point out how the time dependent solutions mentioned above can be obtained by a Wick rotation of one class of these static solutions. We also discuss another type of solutions which might seem non-supersymmetric, but we show by a coordinate transformation that they are nothing but the near horizon limits of the various BPS p-branes already known.Publisher
