| Résumé : | Classical solutions of various supergravities are very interesting to study in the context of string theories and M-theory, because they are often essential in establishing or corroborating the existence of dualities relating (some compactified versions of) the above-mentioned theories [1, 2, 3]. These p-brane solutions (for some reviews on p-branes, see e.g. [4, 5, 6]) provide us with informations on the long-range, low-energy fields produced by objects which live in a more complete theory, i.e. a theory of superstrings or the ‘would-be’ M-theory. Solutions involving several (classical) branes are thus useful in determining some characteristics of the interactions between the quantum objects, and in putting forward conjectures about the quantum dynamics of the underlying theory. |
