Abstract

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 AdS₆ 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 AdS₆ 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.
