Introduction<br />

• Intersect<strong>in</strong>g branes (1/4 BPS before near horizon<br />

limit) near horizon limit enhances supersymmetry<br />

• Probe D-branes <strong>in</strong> AdS and sphere. Neglect backreation.<br />

Supersymmetric embedd<strong>in</strong>g: κ-symmetry <strong>of</strong> Born-Infeld action<br />

Example: D3 brane with AdS 2 × S 2 <strong>in</strong> AdS 3 × S 3<br />
