Abstract

We propose new five-dimensional gauge theory descriptions of six-dimensional $N = (1, 0)$ superconformal field theories arising from type IIA brane configurations including an $O N^{0}$ -plane. The new five-dimensional gauge theories may have $S O$ , $S p$ , and $S U$ gauge groups and further broaden the landscape of ultraviolet complete five-dimensional $N = 1$ supersymmetric gauge theories. When we include an $O 8^{-}$ -plane in addition to an $O N^{0}$ -plane, T-duality yields two $O 7^{-}$ -planes at the intersections of an $O N^{0}$ -plane and two $O 5^{0}$ -planes. We propose a novel resolution of the $O 7^{-}$ -plane with four D7-branes in such a configuration, which enables us to obtain three different types of five-dimensional gauge theories, depending on whether we resolve either none or one or two $O 7^{-}$ -planes. Such different possibilities yield a new five-dimensional duality between a D-type $S U$ quiver and an $S O - S p$ quiver theories. We also claim that a twisted circle compactification of a six-dimensional superconformal field theory may lead to a five-dimensional gauge theory different from those obtained by a simple circle compactification.
