## Abstract We discuss the geometry of string and Mβtheory gauge fields in Deligne cohomology. In particular, we show how requiring string structure (or loop space Spin^**C**^ structure) on the fiveβbrane leads to topological conditions on the flux in the relative Deligne cohomology of the bulkβbra
We present a survey of the calibrated geometries arising in the study of the local singularity structure of supersymmetric fivebranes in M-theory. We pay particular attention to the geometries of 4-planes in eight dimensions, for which we present some new results as well as many details of the compu
