Higgs branch of 5d $\mathcal{N}=1$ symplectic gauge theories and dressed instanton operators
We expand in instanton charge sectors the representation content of the infinite coupling chiral ring of the Higgs branch of 5d $\mathcal{N}=1$ $Sp(k)$ theories with $N_f$ flavours. The entire chiral ring can be expressed as the product of bare instantons, one for each topological sector, times a common dressing factor depending on the mesons and the instanton-anti instanton bound state. The dressing factor, which is independent of the instanton number, encodes the chiral ring of the theory at finite coupling with one additional colour.
