Abstract

Zn\mathbb{Z}_n S-folds of 5d SCFTs, including TNT_N, which lead to brane webs with E6,7,8E_{6,7,8} 7-branes were discussed recently. We generalize the construction to `fractional quotients', which are based on Zn\mathbb{Z}_n actions linking multiple copies of the seed theory and lead to H0,1,2H_{0,1,2} 7-branes. We provide the holographic duals for both classes. This expands the space of explicitly known Type IIB AdS6\rm AdS_6 solutions by incorporating F-theory 7-branes of type E6,7,8E_{6,7,8} and H0,1,2H_{0,1,2}, extending previous constructions for O7-planes. We discuss observables including the free energies and link the results to matrix model descriptions.
