The effect of temperature is investigated in the Randall-Sundrum brane-world scenario. It is shown that for a spacetime ansatz motivated by similarity with AdS/CFT correspondence several features of the model, such as its Z2 symmetry, are not maintained at nonzero temperatures.

We give general intersecting brane solutions without assuming any restriction on the metric in supergravity coupled to a dilaton and antisymmetric tensor fields in arbitrary dimensions D. The result is a general class of intersecting brane solutions which interpolate the non-extreme solutions of type 1 and 2. We also discuss the relation of our solutions to the known single brane solution.
