We derive simple universal rules for determining the fractions of supersymmetry that they preserve. By reversing the steps of dimensional reduction, the $p$-brane solutions become intersections of $p$-branes, NUTs and waves in D=10 or D=11. Having classified the lower-dimensional $p$-branes, this provides a classification of all the intersections in D=10 and D=11 where the harmonic functions depend on the space transverse to all the individual objects. We also discuss the structure of U-duality multiplets of $p$-brane solutions, and show how these translate into multiplets of harmonic and non-harmonic intersections.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "1997-11-02T14:53:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "brane solutions", "derive simple universal rules", "harmonic functions depend", "non-harmonic intersections", "toroidal reduction" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Elsevier", "journal": "Nucl.
