Abstract
We find a new regular solution of six-dimensional Einstein’s equations with a positive cosmological constant. It has the same isometry group as the (deformed) conifold geometry, and the superpotential approach is used to solve the equations of motion. The space is compact and interpolates between the deformed conifold and the resolved cone with a blown-up four cycle. The deformation/resolution parameters are set by the cosmological constant.
