Supergravity Solutions for Localized Intersections of Branes

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.Comment: 15 pages, 1 figur

Chromomagnetic Instability and Gluonic Phase

We briefly report on a recent development in studies of a phase with vector condensates of gluons (gluonic phase) in dense two-flavor quark matter.Comment: 8 pages, 7 figures; talk given at 2006 International Workshop SCGT06, Nagoya, Japan, November 21-24, 200
