A bstractIn this article we conjecture a relationship between 5d SCFT’s, that can be engineered by 5-brane webs in the presence of an O5−-plane, and 4d class S theories of type D. The specific relation is that compactification on a circle of the former leads to the latter. We present evidence for this conjecture. One piece of evidence, which is also an interesting application of this, is that it suggests identifications between different class S theories. This can in turn be tested by comparing…

Partition functions of web diagrams with an O7−-plane
A bstractWe consider the computation of the topological string partition function for 5-brane web diagrams with an O7−-plane. Since upon quantum resolution of the orientifold plane these diagrams…
KIAS-P 18002 5-brane webs for 5 d N = 1 G 2 gauge theories
We propose 5-brane webs for 5d N = 1 G2 gauge theories. From a Higgsing of the SO(7) gauge theory with a hypermultiplet in the spinor representation, we construct two types of 5-brane web…

Compactifications of 5d SCFTs with a twist
A bstractWe study the compactification of 5d SCFTs to 4d on a circle with a twist in a discrete global symmetry element of these SCFTs. We present evidence that this leads to various 4dN$$…
