Electrostatic description of five-dimensional SCFTs

In this paper we discuss an infinite class of AdS(6) backgrounds in Type IIB supergravity dual to five dimensional SCFTs whose low energy description is in terms of linear quiver theories. The quantisation of the Page charges imposes that each solution is determined once a convex, piece-wise linear function is specified. In the dual field theory, we interpret this function as encoding the ranks of colour and flavour groups in the associated quiver. We check our proposal with several examples and provide general expressions for the holographic central charge and the Wilson loop VEV. Some solutions outside this general class, with less clear quiver interpretation, are also discussed. (C) 2021 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V.

Automated summary

In this paper, we discuss a class of AdS(6) backgrounds in Type IIB supergravity and their dualities with five-dimensional SCFTs. We provide the criteria for determining the solutions and interpret them in terms of color and flavor groups in the dual field theory. The paper also presents general expressions for calculating the holographic central charge and the Wilson loop VEV, as well as discusses some solutions outside the general class.
