STRUCTURE OF COMPOSITE BLACK P-BRANE CONFIGURATIONS AND RELATED BLACK-HOLES

We comment on the structure of intersecting black p-brane solutions in string theory explaining how known solutions can be obtained from Sch warzschild solution simply by sequences of boosts and dualities, This implies, in particular, that dimensional reduction in all internal wor ld-volume directions including time leads to a metric (related by anal ytic continuation to a cosmological metric) which does not depend on p -brane charges, i.e. is the same as the metric following by reduction from a higher-dimensional 'neutral' Schwarzschild black hole.
