On Branes Ending on Branes in Supergravity

Abstract

We study the eleven-dimensional supergravity and the classical solutions corresponding to M2-branes ending on M5-branes. We obtain the generic BPS configuration representing two sets of parallel M5-branes with (1+1) commonly longitudinal directions and M2-branes stretching between them. We also discuss how the brane creation is described in supergravity.
