✦ Synopsis

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 computations. We also analyse the possible generalised self-dualities which these geometries can afford.
