Black brane

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. Such a solution may therefore also be called a black "p"-brane.

In string theory, the solutions labeled as black branes provide us with an alternative description of the same objects called p-branes. Other descriptions of the same objects include D-branes.
