Kaluza-Klein electrically charged black branes in M-theory

TL;DR

This paper constructs and analyzes a class of electrically charged black p-brane solutions in type IIA superstring theory, uplifted to M-theory, revealing their interpretation as boosted or momentum-carrying objects in higher dimensions.

Contribution

It introduces new Kaluza-Klein black brane solutions in string theory and explores their uplift to M-theory, providing insights into their geometric and physical interpretations.

Findings

Solutions represent p+1 extended objects with electric charge.

Uplifted solutions can be viewed as boosted black branes or momentum modes.

The work connects lower-dimensional black branes with M-theory backgrounds.

Abstract

We present a class of Kaluza-Klein electrically charged black p-brane solutions of ten-dimensional, type IIA superstring theory. Uplifting to eleven dimensions these solutions are studied in the context of M-theory. They can be interpreted either as a p+1 extended object trapped around the eleventh dimension along which momentum is flowing or as a boost of the following backgrounds: the Schwarzschild black (p+1)-brane or the product of the (10-p)-dimensional Euclidean Schwarzschild manifold with the (p+1)-dimensional Minkowski spacetime.
