Rank-3 antisymmetric matter on 5-brane webs

摘要

We discuss Type IIB 5-brane configurations for 5d N=1 gauge theories with hypermultiplets in the rank-3 antisymmetric representation and with various other hypermultiplets, which flow from a UV fixed point at the infinite coupling. We propose 5-brane web diagrams for the theories of SU(6) and Sp(3) gauge groups with rank-3 antisymmetric matter and check our proposed 5-brane webs against several consistency conditions implied from the one-loop corrected prepotential. Using the obtained 5-brane webs for rank-3 antisymmetric matter, we apply the topological vertex method to compute the partition function for one of these SU(6) gauge theories.
