The 5d Tangram: Brane Webs, 7-Branes and Primitive T-cones
The 5d Tangram: Brane Webs, 7-Branes and Primitive T-cones
Two highly successful approaches to constructing 5d SCFTs are geometric engineering using M-theory on a Calabi-Yau 3-fold and the use of 5-brane webs suspended from 7-branes in Type IIB string theory. In the brane web realization, the extended Coulomb branch of the 5d SCFT can be studied by opening the …
