Abstract
In this paper we review the properties of supertubes in type IIA superstring theory. The supertube is a tubular D2-brane which carries D0-brane charge N0, fundamental string charge N1 and angular momentum J. Even if we fix two charges N0, N1 and angular momentum J, a generic supertube has degrees of freedom to deform its shape of the cross-section. We explicitly count this degeneracy and evaluate the entropy of supertubes from the field theoretical viewpoint.
