Anomaly inflow, accidental symmetry, and spontaneous symmetry breaking
We consider the 6d (1,0) SCFT on a stack of N M5-branes probing a ℂ2/ℤ2 singularity. In particular, we study its compactifications to four dimensions on a smooth genus-g Riemann surface with non-trivial flavor flux, yielding a family of 4d CFTs. By tracking the M-theory origin of the global symmetri...
