Abstract
We study the gravity duals of SO/USp superconformal quiver gauge theories realized by wrapping M5-branes on a Riemann surface (“G-curve”) together with a \( {\mathbb{Z}_{{2}}}{\text{ - quotient}} \). When the G-curve has no punctures, the gravity solutions are classified by the genus g of the G-curve and the torsion part of the four-form flux G 4. We also find that there is an interesting relation between anomaly contributions from two mysterious theories: T SO(2N ) theory with SO(2N)3 flavor symmetry and \( {\widetilde{T}_{{{\text{SO}}\left( {2N} \right)}}} \) theory with SO(2N ) × USp(2N − 2)2 flavor symmetry. The dual gravity solutions for various SO/USp-type tails are also studied.
