Surface defects on E-string from 5-brane webs

Abstract We study 6d E-string theory with defects on a circle. Our basic strategy is to apply the geometric transition to the supersymmetric gauge theories. First, we calculate the partition functions of the 5d SU(3)0 gauge theory with 10 flavors, which is UV-dual to the 5d Sp(2) gauge theory with 1...
