Idea

super Yang-Mills theory on spacetimes of dimension D=5D=5, hence the supersymmetric version of D=5 Yang-Mills theory.

Properties

As the worldvolume theory of the D4-brane

D=5D = 5 SYM may be regarded as the worldvolume field theory on the D4-brane in type II string theory.

Via reduction from the M5-brane / D=6D=6 SCFT

For relation to the D=6 N=(2,0) SCFT via KK-compactification on a circle fiber, hence as worldvolume theory of the double dimensional reduction of the M5-brane (see also at Perry-Schwarz Lagrangian), see the references below.
