Abstract
We study the supergravity duals of supersymmetric theories arising in the w orld-volume of D6-branes wrapping holomorphic two-cycles and special lagran gian three-cycles within the framework of eight-dimensional gauged supergra vity. When uplifted to 11d, our solutions represent M-theory on the backgro und of, respectively, the small resolution of the conifold and a manifold w ith G(2) holonomy. We further discuss on the flop and other possible geomet rical transitions and its implications.
