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.
The absorption cross section of dilatinos by D3-branes is calculated by means of both classical type IIB supergravity and the effective gauge field theory on their worldvolume. The two methods give the same results, supporting the microscopic description of black holes in terms of D-branes and giving another evidence of AdS/superconformal reciprocity.
We calculate semiclassically the emission rate of spin 1/2 particles from charged, nonrotating black holes in D=5,N=8 supergravity. The relevant Dirac equation is solved by the same approximation as in the bosonic case. The resulting expression for the emission rate has a form which is predicted from D-brane effective field theory.
