Supergravity Solutions for Localized Intersections of Branes

Abstract

We construct an explicit supergravity solution for a configuration of localized D4-brane ending on a D6-brane, restricted to the near horizon region of the latter. We generate this solution by dimensionally reducing the supergravity solution for a flat M5-brane in $R^{1,7} \times C^2/Z_N$ with the M5-brane partially embedded in $C^2/Z_N$. We describe the general class of localized intersections and overlaps whose supergravity solutions are constructible in this way.
