The black hole solutions to Einstein's vacuum field equations are also solutions to the equations of motion of the low energy limit of superstring theory. At the same time, string theory boasts a much broader and richer collection of black hole solutions. Fortunately, string theories also possess a remarkable set of duality symmetries relating states within and between different string theories. These duality symmetries can be exploited to construct new black hole solutions from known solutions, giving us powerful tools with which to explore the black hole solutions of string theory. Here we introduce and demonstrate these techniques of solution generating.
