Black holes and branes in supergravity
  This book chapter presents a brief introduction to black holes and branes in supergravity, focussing on 11-dimensional supergravity and type II supergravities in 10-dimension. The chapter is aimed at graduate students who have completed a standard course in general relativity. It is an ammended and slightly updated version of arXiv:gr-qc/9908045. In addition to describing specific solutions, brief discussions of p-form gauge fields, Kaluza-Klein reduction, (local) supersymmetry, T- and S-dualities in supergravity, and string perturbation theory are included to provide context.
