The M5M5-brane conjecture for (1,0)(1,0) BCOV theory

Consider a single M5M5 brane on R7×(R4/ZN)\mathbb{R}^7\times(\mathbb{R}^4/\mathbb{Z}_N), located at the singular point of the ANA_N singularity and spanning six of the seven directions in R7\mathbb{R}^7. Its world-volume supports a theory with (1,0)(1,0) supersymmetry. M5-brane conjecture. The holomorphic twist of this theory is (1,0)(1,0) BCOV theory coupled to sl(NN)\mathfrak{sl}(N\mid N) holomorphic Chern–Simons theory. This conjecture relates the theory on the singularity-supported M5M5 brane to the coupled holomorphic theory constructed in the paper; it was suggested by Davide Gaiotto and is not proved here.
