We argue that MQCD admits intersecting domain walls that are realized as Cayley calibrations of the MQCD M5-brane. We discuss various dual realizations and comment on how branes can realise domain walls in N=1 supersymmetric theories in…
We construct local solutions to eleven-dimensional supergravity describing M2-branes intersecting and/or ending on M5-branes, in the near-horizon limit of the M2-branes. Global solutions describing these theories should have 16 supercharges…
We investigate various supersymmetric brane intersections. Motivated by the recent results on supertubes, we investigate general constraints in which parallel brane-antibrane configurations are supersymmetric. Dual descriptions of these…
We analyse the geometrical structure of supersymmetric solutions of type II supergravity of the form R^{1,9-n} x M_n with non-trivial NS flux and dilaton. Solutions of this type arise naturally as the near-horizon limits of wrapped NS…
Multidimensional gravitational model on the manifold $M = M_0 \times \prod_{i=1}^{n} M_i$, where $M_i$ are Einstein spaces ($i \geq 1$), is considered. The action contains $m = 2^n -1$ dilatonic scalar fields $\phi^I$ and $m$…

We show that a system of parallel D3 branes near a conifold singularity can be mapped onto an intersecting configuration of orthogonal branes in type IIA string theory. Using this brane configuration, we analyze the Higgs moduli space of…
We present solutions describing supersymmetric configurations of 2 or 3 orthogonally intersecting 2-branes and 5-branes of D=11 supergravity. The configurations which preserve 1/4 or 1/8 of maximal supersymmetry are 2+2, 5+5, 2+5, 2+2+2,…
Gukov, Martinec, Moore and Strominger found that the D1-D5-D5' system with the D5-D5' angle at 45 degrees admits a deformation "rho" preserving supersymmetry. Under this deformation, the D5-branes and D5'-branes reconnect along a single…
We describe intersecting M5-branes, as well as M5-branes wrapping the holomorphic curve xy=c, in terms of a limit of a defect conformal field theory with two-dimensional (4,0) supersymmetry. This dCFT describes the low-energy theory of…
Starting from an N=1 supersymmetric electric gauge theory with the multiple product gauge group and the bifundamentals, we apply Seiberg dual to each gauge group, obtain the N=1 supersymmetric dual magnetic gauge theories with dual matters…
We present a class of two-charged intersecting brane solutions of the D=11 supergravity, which contain the M2-brane, M5-brane, Kaluza-Klein monopole or Brinkmann wave as their building blocks. These solutions share the common feature that…

We present a class of spacetime rotations that preserve a proportion of spacetime supersymmetry. We then give the rules for superposing these rotations with various branes to construct rotating brane solutions which preserve exotic…
We determine the possible fractions of supersymmetry preserved by two intersecting M-5-branes. These include the fractions 3/32 and 5/32 which have not occurred previously in intersecting brane configurations. Both occur in non-orthogonal…
