On black brane solutions and their fluid analogues

We review spherically symmetric solutions with a horizon in two models: (i) with scalar fields and fields of forms, and (ii) with a multi-component anisotropic fluid. The metrics of the solutions are defined on a manifold that contains a product of n - 1 Ricci-flat "internal" spaces. The solutions are governed by functions Hs obeying nonlinear differential equations with certain boundary conditions. Simulation of black-brane solutions is considered, and the Hawking temperature is calculated. For the fluid solution, the post-Newtonian parameters β and Γ corresponding to the 4-dimensional section of the metric are found. © 2011 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.
