Abstract

We generalize recent construction of four-dimensional N=1\mathcal{N}=1 SCFT from wrapping six-dimensional N=(2,0)\mathcal{N}=(2,0) theory on a Riemann surface to the case of DD-type with outer-automorphism twists. This construction allows us to build various dual theories for a class of N=1\mathcal{N}=1 quiver theories of SOUSpSO-USp type. In particular, we find there are five dual frames to SO(2N)/USp(2N2)/G2SO(2N)/USp(2N-2)/G_2 gauge theories with (4N4)/4N/8(4N-4)/4N/8 fundamental flavors, where three of them are non-Lagrangian. We check the dualities by computing the anomaly coefficients and the superconformal indices. In the process we verify that the index of D4D_4 theory on a certain three punctured sphere with Z2Z_2 and Z3Z_3 twist lines exhibits the expected symmetry enhancement from G2×USp(6)G_2 \times USp(6) to E7E_7.
