Abstract: We study holographic renormalization group flows from four-dimensional $mathcalN=2$ SCFTs to either $mathcalN=2$ or $mathcalN=1$ SCFTs. Our approach is based on the framework of five-dimensional half-maximal supergravity with general gauging, which we use to study domain wall solutions interpolating between different supersymmetric AdS${}_5$ vacua. We show that a holographic RG flow connecting two $mathcalN=2$ SCFTs is only possible if the flavor symmetry of the UV theory admits an $mSO(3)$ subgroup. In this case the ratio of the IR and UV central charges satisfies a universal relation which we also establish in field theory. In addition we provide several general examples of holographic flows from $mathcalN=2$ to $mathcalN=1$ SCFTs and relate the ratio of the UV and IR central charges to the conformal dimension of the operator triggering the flow. Instrumental to our analysis is a derivation of the general conditions for AdS vacua preserving eight supercharges as well as for domain wall solutions preserving eight Poincare supercharges in half-maximal supergravity.
