Abstract: In recent work, globally well-defined Type IIB supergravity solutions with geometry $Ad{S}_{6}imes{S}^2$ warped over a Riemann surface $Sigma$ were constructed and conjectured to describe the near-horizon geometry of $(p,q)$ five-brane webs in the conformal limit. In the present paper, we offer more evidence for this interpretation of the supergravity solutions in terms of five-brane webs. In particular, we explore the behavior of probe $(p,q)$-strings in certain families of these $Ad{S}_{6}imes{S}^{2}imesSigma$ backgrounds and compare this behavior to that predicted by microscopic, brane web considerations. In the microscopic picture, we argue that the embedding of a probe string may give rise to the formation of string junctions involving open strings anchored on the branes of the web. We then identify a quantity on the supergravity side that is conjectured to be equivalent to the total junction tension in a class of backgrounds corresponding to brane webs with four semi-infinite external five-branes. In the process, we will show that for general brane web backgrounds, the minimal energy probe string embeddings do not coincide with the embeddings preserving half of the background supersymmetries.
