Abstract

We compute the partition function for 6d N=1\mathcal{N}=1 SO(2N)SO(2N) gauge theories compactified on a circle with Z2\mathbb{Z}_2 outer automorphism twist. We perform the computation based on 5-brane webs with two O5-planes using topological vertex with two O5-planes. As representative examples, we consider 6d SO(8)SO(8) and SU(3)SU(3) gauge theories with Z2\mathbb{Z}_2 twist. We confirm that these partition functions obtained from the topological vertex with O5-planes indeed agree with the elliptic genus computations.
