Refined topological vertex with ON-planes

High Energy Physics - Theory 2022-08-09 v2

Abstract

We propose refined topological vertex formalism for 5-brane systems with ON-planes by introducing a new vertex associated with reflection over an ON-plane, which gives rise to new vertex and edge factors. We test our proposal against various 5d N=1\mathcal{N}=1 gauge theories which can be realized as 5-brane webs with ON-planes, which include DD-type quiver theories. In particular, we compute the refined partition functions for 6d E-string theory on a circle as well as 5d SU(3) theory at the Chern-Simons level 9, which can be realized as 5-brane webs with two ON-planes. Our results completely agree with the known results.
