Abstract
We consider the warped AdS6× S4ℤ n backgrounds dual to certain 5d quiver gauge theories. By studying dual giant gravitons in the AdS 6 geometry we are able to partially probe the Higgs branch of these theories. We show how the quantization of the phase space of such dual giants coincides with the counting of holomorphic functions on ℂ2/ℤn, which is the geometric part of the Higgs branch for these theories.
