Abstract

Multicenter supergravity solutions corresponding to Higgs phases of supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories are considered. For NS5 branes we identify three cases where there is a description in terms of exact conformal field theories. Other supergravity solutions, such as D3-branes with angular momentum, are understood as special limits of multicenter ones. Within our context we also consider 4-dim gravitational multi-instantons.
