Six-dimensional origin of N = 4 SYM with duality defects

We study the topologically twisted compactification of the 6d (2; 0) M5-brane theory on an elliptically fibered Kahler three-fold preserving two supercharges. We show that upon reducing on the elliptic fiber, the 4d theory is N = 4 Super-Yang Mills, with varying complexified coupling, in the presen...
