Abstract
We provide further evidence that the recently constructed warped AdS6 solutions in Type IIB supergravity are dual to 5d SCFTs that correspond to (p, q) 5-brane webs with large numbers of like-charged external 5-branes. We study a number of specific examples, including the TN theory, and identify the bulk states dual to a class of operators with \( \mathcal{O} \)(N) scaling dimensions in terms of strings and string-webs embedded in the solutions.
