We propose that N M5-branes, put on R/Zm with deformation parameters ǫ1,2, realize two-dimensional theory with ŜU(m)N symmetry and m-th para-WN symmetry. This includes the standard WN symmetry for m = 1 and super-Viraroro symmetry for m = N = 2. We provide a small check of this proposal by calculating the central charge of the 2d theory from the anomaly polynomial of the 6d theory. ∗on leave from IPMU, the University of Tokyo Introduction: N M5-branes, put on R with Nekrasov’s deformation parameters ǫ1,2, are now believed to realize two-dimensional theory with WN symmetry [1, 2]. One check of this statement was given in [3] following the observation made in [4]. Namely, the equivariant integral on R of the anomaly polynomial of N M5-branes determined in [5] gives the anomaly polynomial of the 2d theory, from which the central charge of the Toda theory with WN symmetry can be reproduced. The same analysis can be performed for 6d N = (2, 0) theory of type G = A,D,E whose anomaly polynomial is also known [6, 7]; and it correctly reproduces the central charge of the Toda theory of type G. In a recent paper [8], it was proposed that two M5-branes on R/Z2 with deformations ǫ1,2 give rise to a system with the ŜU(2)2 symmetry and the super-Virasoro symmetry. As a generalization, we propose that N M5-branes on R/Zm realize a 2d system with a free boson, ŜU(m)N , and the m-th para-WN symmetry . Here Zm acts as (z, w) 7→ (ez, ew) on (z, w) ∈ C ≃ R. We give a small piece of supporting evidence by calculating the central charge from the 6d anomaly polynomial. We will also speculate what happens if the 6d N = (2, 0) theory of type G is used instead. In the following G stands for one of An, Dn or En; rG, hG and dG are the rank, the (dual) Coxeter number and the dimension of G, respectively. They satisfy dG = rG(hG + 1). Para-W symmetry and para-Toda theory: One way to realize theW (Ĝ) symmetry [10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15] is to consider the chiral algebra of the coset
