Abstract

We study 5d5d gauge theories that go in the UV to 6d6d N\mathcal{N}=(1,0)=(1,0) SCFT. We focus on these theories that can be engineered in string theory by brane webs. Given a theory in this class, we propose a method to determine the 6d6d SCFT it goes to. We also discuss the implication of this to the compactification of the resulting 6d6d SCFT on a torus to 4d4d. We test and demonstrate this method with a variety of examples.
