Probing the Higgs branch of 5d fixed point theories with dual giant gravitons in AdS(6)

Understand

We consider the warped AdS(6)xS^4/Z_n backgrounds dual to certain 5d quiver gauge theories.

• By studying dual giant gravitons in the AdS(6) geometry we are able to partially probe the Higgs branch of these theories.
• We show how the quantization of the phase space of such dual giants coincides with the counting of holomorphic functions on C^2/Z_n, which is the geometric part of the Higgs branch for these theories.
