Abstract

We study the relation between intersecting NS5-branes whose intersection is smoothed out and the deformed conifold in terms of the supergravity solution. We solve the condition of preserved supersymmetry on a metric inspired by the deformed conifold metric and obtain a solution of the NS5-branes which is delocalized except for one of the overall transverse directions. The solution has consistent properties with other configurations obtained by string dualities.
