Integrable models of black holes and their generalizations in the theories of supergravity and superstrings

Abstract

A new class of integrable models of (0+1)-and (1+1)-dimensional dilaton gravity coupled to any number of scalar fields is introduced and briefly discussed. These models can be reduced to a system of Liouville equations that are coupled through energy and momentum constraints. The constraints can be explicitly solved, thus giving an explicit analytic solution of the theory. In particular, these integrable models describe spherically symmetric black holes and branes of supergravity theories in higher dimensions.
