not violated and naively suggests that for any choice of these parameters there is a two-dimensional CFT in the IR. We will discuss this further in Section \[Sec:AdS3sol\].

$(0,2)$ SCFTs from $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM {#subsec:N=4flowsFT}
--------------------------------------

There is a natural generalization of the foregoing discussion, which suggests that the $(0,2)$ SCFTs in Section \[subsec:LSFT\] can also be accessed by a family of RG flows in $\cN=4$ SYM. The idea is to turn on simultaneously two relevant deformations of $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM: the mass deformation and a twisted compactification along $\Sigma_\fg$.

Since the mass deformation breaks the $R$-symmetry of $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM from $SO(6)$ to $U(1)_R\times SU(2)_F$ and preserves $\cN=1$ supersymmetry, a simultaneous partial topological twist, with the background gauge field in this unbroken global symmetry subgroup, will result in a two-dimensional $(0,2)$ supersymmetric theory in the IR. Assuming that the theory is superconformal, one can proceed as in Section \[subsec:LSFT\] to calculate its central charge. We parametrize the background flux as in $\eqref{Tback}$ and observe that, with no other Abelian global symmetries available, the trial $R$-symmetry is the same as in . We can also use the formula for the zero modes, except that we must now include the fermions $\chi_1$ in the
