Discrete theta angle from an O5-plane

Abstract We consider 5d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1 Sp(1) gauge theory based on a brane configuration with an O5-plane. At the UV fixed point, the theory with no matter enjoys enhanced global symmetry SU(2) or U(1) depending on the discrete theta angle θ = 0, π (mod 2π). A naive brane configuration with...
