Geometry of decoupled fields

Abstract: Abstract: In this talk I will discuss aspects of flipped fields that appear in the engineering of 4d SCFTs from compactifications of 6d (1,0) SCFTs of A_(N-1) type. By studying various ways of constructing the anomaly polynomial for the 4d theory, it is possible to account for flipped fields when the 6d SCFT is compactified on a Riemann surface. I will also discuss their geometric origin and their role along the RG flow.
