An on‐shell model for the supersymmetric index counting multiplicities of BPS states of the M5‐brane theory is reviewed. In particular we explicitly study the tensionless Little String states appearing at intersections in a bound state ofN 5‐branes wrapped on a six‐manifold with product topology M 4 × T 2 .
