Abstract
We examine the giant graviton expansions of the Coulomb and Higgs indices for the M2-brane SCFTs to find the closed-form expressions for the indices that encode the spectra of the -BPS M5-brane giant gravitons and the -BPS orbifold M5-brane giant gravitons. Consequently, we get exact forms of the twisted indices for the 6d theories describing a stack of M5-branes which generalize the unrefined indices. We confirm that they are also beautifully expanded with respect to the indices for the M2-brane giant gravitons which are obtained from the Coulomb and Higgs indices for the M2-brane SCFTs upon the change of variables.
