Topological vertex for 6d SCFTs with $mathbb{Z}_2$-twist


Abstract in English

We compute the partition function for 6d $mathcal{N}=1$ $SO(2N)$ gauge theories compactified on a circle with $mathbb{Z}_2$ 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 $SO(8)$ and $SU(3)$ gauge theories with $mathbb{Z}_2$ twist. We confirm that these partition functions obtained from the topological vertex with O5-planes indeed agree with the elliptic genus computations.
