5-brane webs for 5d 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 configurations for the pure G2 gauge theory using an O5-plane or an O5˜-plane. Adding flavors to the 5-brane web...

Description
Summary: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 configurations for the pure G2 gauge theory using an O5-plane or an O5˜-plane. Adding flavors to the 5-brane web for the pure G2 gauge theory is also discussed. Based on the obtained 5-brane webs, we compute the partition functions for the 5d G2 gauge theories using the recently suggested topological vertex formulation with an O5-plane, and we find agreement with known results.
