Abstract:We propose new topological vertex formalism for Type IIB (p,q) 5-brane web with an O5-plane. We apply our proposal to 5d N=1 Sp(1) gauge theory with Nf=0,1,8 flavors to compute the topological string partition functions and check the agreement with the known results. Especially for the Nf=8 case, which corresponds to E-string theory on a circle, we obtain a new, yet simple, expression of the partition function with two Young diagram sum.
