Flavor symmetry of 5d SCFTs. Part II. Applications

Abstract

A bstract In Part I of this series of papers, we described a general method for determining the flavor symmetry of any 5 d SCFT which can be constructed by integrating out BPS particles from some 6 d SCFT compactified on a circle. In this part, we apply the method to explicitly determine the flavor symmetry of those 5 d SCFTs which reduce, upon a mass deformation, to some 5 d $$ \mathcal{N} $$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mi>N</mml:mi> </mml:math> = 1 gauge theory carrying a simple gauge algebra. In these cases, the flavor symmetry of the 5 d gauge theory is often enhanced at the conformal point. We use our method to determine this enhancement.
