Abstract

This short review deals with a multidimensional gravitational model containing dilatonic scalar fields and antisymmetric forms. The manifold is chosen in the form M = M 0 × M 1 × ... × M n , where M i are Einstein spaces (i ≥ 1). The sigma-model approach and exact solutions in the model are reviewed and the solutions with p-branes (e.g. solutions with harmonic functions, “cosmological”, spherically symmetric and black-brane ones) are considered.
