We propose a concrete form of a vertex function, which we call O-vertex, for the intersection between an O5-plane and a 5-brane in the topological vertex formalism, as an extension of the work of arXiv:1709.01928. Using the O-vertex it is possible to compute the Nekrasov partition functions of 5d theories realized on any 5-brane web diagrams with O5-planes. We apply our proposal to 5-brane webs with an O5-plane and compute the partition functions of pure SO($N$) gauge theories and the pure $G_2$ gauge theory. The obtained results agree with the results known in the literature. We also compute the partition function of the pure SU(3) gauge theory with the Chern-Simons level $9$. At the end we rewrite the O-vertex in a form of a vertex operator.

  1. Shell formulas for instantons and gauge origami

    hep-th 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    A new shell formula unifies and delivers explicit closed-form expressions plus recursions for instanton partition functions in 5d SYM and multiple gauge origami configurations using arbitrary-dimensional Young diagrams.

  2. Thermodynamic limit for SO(2N) gauge theories with spinors/conjugate spinors

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    The distinction between spinor and conjugate spinor matter in 5D SO(2N) gauge theories manifests as different boundary conditions on the Seiberg-Witten curve at O5-plane positions (w=±1).
