DESCRIPTION:M5-branes are 5+1 dimensional objects in M-theory. Putting N M
 5-branes together\, a 6d CFT was predicted with N^3^ degrees of freedom\, 
 very different from N D-branes hosting N^2^ degrees of Yang-Mills theories
 . Their novel properties are observed mostly by indirect methods rather th
 an 6d QFT calculations\, due to the lack of its microscopic formulations. 
 Curiously\, the mere existence of this brane and CFT leads to nontrivial p
 redictions on lower dimensional QFT's\, like the compactification of strin
 g/M-theory leading to a variety of interesting quantum systems. In this ta
 lk\, after a review\, I will briefly explain recent studies on a class of 
 interesting observables in this 6d QFT\, from exact calculations in 5 dime
 nsional super Yang-Mills theory.
