Intersecting P-brane solutions in multidimensional gravity and M-theory

Abstract: Multidimensional gravitational model on the manifold

M = M_{0} i m e s p r o d_{i = 1}^{n} M_{i}

, where

M_{i}

are Einstein spaces (

i g e q 1

), is considered. The action contains

m = 2^{n} - 1

dilatonic scalar fields

p h i^{I}

and

m

(antisymmetric) forms

A^{I}

. When all fields and scale factors of the metric depend (essentially) on the point of

M_{0}

and any

A^{I}

is "proportional" to the volume form of submanifold

M_{i_{1}} i m e s ... i m e s M_{i_{k}}

,

1 l e q i_{1} < ... < i_{k} l e q n

, the sigma-model representation is obtained. A family of "Majumdar-Papapetrou type" solutions are obtained, when all

M_{u}

are Ricci-flat. A special class of solutions (related to the solution of some Diophantus equation on dimensions of

M_{u}

) is singled out. Some examples of intersecting p-branes (e.g. solution with seven Euclidean 2-branes for D = 11 supergravity) are considered.}
