Charges and holography in 6d (1,0) theories

Abstract

We study the recently proposed AdS${}_7$/CFT${}_6$ dualities for a class of 6d $\mathcal{N}=(1,0)$ theories that flow on the tensor branch to long linear quiver gauge theories. We find a precise agreement in the symmetries and in the spectrum of charged states between the 6d SCFTs and their conjectured AdS${}_7$ duals. We also confirm a recent conjecture that a discrete $S_N$ symmetry relating the baryons in the quiver theories is in fact gauged.
