Abstract:
Due to the recent development of type
IIB 5-brane web technique, we are able
to study wider class of 5d N=1 gauge
theories from the brane constructions.
After reviewing this recent development,
we focus on a new 5-brane web
configuration for 5d N=1 gauge theories
with 6d UV fixed points. We observe
from brane web that Kaluza-Klein mode
of the 6d N=(1,0) SCFT compactified on
S^1 is realized as an instanton particle
in the corresponding 5d N=1 gauge
theory. We also observe that various 5d
N=1 gauge theories have identical 6d
UV fixed point. We check these
observations by computing BPS
partition functions for some examples.
