Exact results for five-dimensional superconformal field theories with
gravity duals
   [PDF]

Daniel L. Jafferis, Silviu S. Pufu
We apply the technique of supersymmetric localization to exactly compute the S^5 partition function of several large N superconformal field theories in five dimensions that have AdS_6 duals in massive type IIA supergravity. The localization computations are performed in the non-renormalizable effective field theories obtained through relevant deformations of the UV superconformal field theories. We compare the S^5 free energy to a holographic computation of entanglement entropy in the AdS_6 duals and find perfect agreement. In particular, we reproduce the N^{5/2} scaling of the S^5 free energy that was expected from supergravity.
