Abstract

We study BPS bound states of little strings in a limit where they realise monopole strings in five dimensional gauge theories. The latter have gauge group U(M)^N and arise from compactification of (1,0) little string theories of type A_M-1 × A_N-1. We find evidence that the partition function of a certain subclass of monopole strings of charge (k,…,k) (k≥ 1) is expressible as the partition function of a symmetric orbifold sigma model, whose target space is precisely the symmetric product of the moduli space of monopoles with charge (1, …, 1).
