Liouville and toda solitons in M-theory Academic Article

abstract

• We study the general form of the equations for isotropic single-scalar, multi-scalar and dyonic p-branes in superstring theory and M-theory, and show that they can be cast into the form of Liouville, Toda (or Toda-like) equations. The general solutions describe non-extremal isotropic p-branes, reducing to the previously-known extremal solutions in limiting cases. In the non-extremal case, the dilatonic scalar fields are finite at the outer event horizon.
