M5-Branes, D4-Branes and Quantum 5D super-Yang-Mills
read the original abstract
We revisit the relation of the six-dimensional (2,0) M5-brane Conformal Field Theory compactified on a circle to 5D maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills Gauge Theory. We show that in the broken phase 5D super-Yang-Mills contains a spectrum of soliton states that can be identified with the complete Kaluza-Klein modes of an M2-brane ending on the M5-branes. This provides evidence that the (2,0) theory on a circle is equivalent to 5D super-Yang-Mills with no additional UV degrees of freedom, suggesting that the latter is in fact a well-defined quantum theory and possibly finite.

From Weyl Anomaly to Defect Supersymmetric R\'enyi Entropy and Casimir Energy
In 6D (2,0) theories, defect supersymmetric Rényi entropy contribution is linear in 1/n and equals a constant times (2b - d2); Casimir energy contribution equals -d2 (up to constant) in the chiral algebra limit.

A toy model for $p$-form gauge symmetry
The paper introduces a matrix toy model that inherits p-form gauge symmetry from the functional space of p-brane configurations via symmetric trace after replacing the infinite-dimensional space with finite matrices.
