abstract

We propose new ADHM-like methods to compute the Coulomb branch instanton partition functions of 5d and 6d supersymmetric gauge theories, with certain exceptional gauge groups or exceptional matters. We study $G_2$ theories with $n_{\bf 7}\leq 3$ matters in ${\bf 7}$, and $SO(7)$ theories with $n_{\bf 8}\leq 4$ matters in the spinor representation ${\bf 8}$. We also study the elliptic genera of self-dual instanton strings of 6d SCFTs with exceptional gauge groups or matters, including all non-Higgsable atomic SCFTs with rank $2$ or $3$ tensor branches. Some of them are tested with topological vertex calculus. We also explore a D-brane-based method to study instanton particles of 5d $SO(7)$ and $SO(8)$ gauge theories with matters in spinor representations, which further tests our ADHM-like proposals.

  1. Instantons from Blow-up

    hep-th 2019-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The instanton partition function of many 4d N=2 and 5d N=1 gauge theories is fully determined by the perturbative part via generalized Nakajima-Yoshioka blowup equations.

  2. Higgsing and Twisting of 6d $D_N$ gauge theories

    hep-th 2019-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The authors construct 5-brane webs for 6d SO(N) SCFTs on -2 and -3 curves and propose webs for Z2-twisted compactifications using Higgs vevs of KK-momentum charged scalars.

  3. More on 5d Wilson Loops in Higher-Rank Theories and Blowup Equations

    hep-th 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For 5d N=1 pure gauge theories, Wilson-loop blowup equations can be fixed using one-form symmetry and low-instanton data, and one-instanton free energies admit a universal v=sqrt(q1q2) expansion resembling Hilbert series.
