Abstract:

I will discuss the giant graviton expansions of supersymmetric indices for the theories describing a stack of M2-branes. It follows that M2-branes can hold a lesson for M5-branes and vice versa via the reversible giant graviton expansions of the indices. In addition, we obtain several exact closed-form expressions for the indices of 6d (2,0) theory describing a stack of M5-branes. The talk will be based on my recent joint work arXiv:2409.13239 with H. Hayashi and T. Nosaka
