Abstract

A bstract Type IIB AdS 6 solutions with orientifold 7-planes are constructed. The geometry is a warped product of AdS 6 and S 2 over a Riemann surface Σ and the O7-planes correspond to a particular type of puncture on Σ. The solutions are identified as near- horizon limits of ( p, q ) 5-brane webs with O7-planes. The dual 5d SCFTs have relevant deformations to linear quiver gauge theories which have SO( · ) or USp( · ) nodes or SU( · ) nodes with hypermultiplets in symmetric or antisymmetric representations, in addition to SU( · ) nodes with fundamental hypermultiplets. The S 5 free energies are obtained holographically and matched to field theory computations using supersymmetric localization to support the proposed dualities.
