Black brane

In general relativity, a black brane is a solution of the equations that generalizes a black hole solution but it is also extended—and translationally symmetric—in p additional spatial dimensions. That type of solution would be called a black p-brane.^[1]

In string theory, the term black brane describes a group of D1-branes that are surrounded by a horizon.^[2] With the notion of a horizion in mind as well as identifying points as zero-branes, a generalization of a black hole is a black p-brane.^[3] However, many physicists tend to define a black brane separate from a black hole, making the distinction that the singularity of a black brane is not a point like a black hole, but instead a higher dimensional object.

A BPS black brane is similar to a BPS black hole. They both have electric charges. Some BPS black branes have magnetic charges.^[4]

The metric for a black p-brane in a n-dimensional space-time is:

{ds}^{{2}}=\left(\eta _{{ab}}+{\frac {r_{s}^{{n-p-3}}}{r^{{n-p-3}}}}u_{a}u_{b}\right)d\sigma ^{a}d\sigma ^{b}+\left(1-{\frac {r_{s}^{{n-p-3}}}{r^{{n-p-3}}}}\right)^{{-1}}dr^{2}+r^{2}d\Omega _{{n-p-2}}^{2}

where:

η is the (p+1)-Minkowski metric with signature (-,+,+,+,...),
σ are the coordinates for the worldsheet of the black p-brane,
u is its four-velocity,
r is the radial coordinate and,
Ω is the metric for a (n-p-2)-sphere, surrounding the brane.
