E-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: We study the recently proposed AdS7 /CFT6 dualities for a class of 6d 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 AdS7 duals. We also confirm a recent conjecture that a discrete SN symmetry relating the baryons in the quiver theories is in fact gauged.

The study of quantum field theory becomes harder as one increases the dimension of spacetime: familiar interacting models become non-renormalizable and require new UV completions. However when such completions can be found, they provide interesting windows on non-perturbative physics, whose lessons can be useful in lower dimensions too. For supersymmetric models, the renormalization group (RG) fixed points at high energies should be superconformal field theories (SCFTs), which can only exist up to d = 6. Over th
