A flux p-brane in D dimensions has (p+1)-dimensional Poincare invariance and a nonzero rank (D-p-1) field strength tangent to the transverse dimensions. We find a family of such solutions in string theory and M-theory and investigate their properties.

• S brane solutions in supergravity theories (2002, background): “Furthermore given the relation of brane antibrane systems to fluxbranes [31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44], it might be possible that the time dependent solutions describe the dynamical evolution of fluxbranes.”
