Abstract: We probe type IIA geometries with emph{folded} semiclassical strings those encode the strong coupling dynamics associated with long operators in a class of SCFTs pertaining to spacetimes whose dimension vary from 6d down to 2d. We particularly focus on folded string configurations those are extended through stack of flavor Dp (p=6,8) branes localized along the internal manifold. Considering some specific examples within the realm of mathcalN=2 linear quivers, we show that the associated string spectrum exhibits a pole as the string approaches flavor D6 branes. We identify this as a emph{fragmentation} of long operators in the dual mathcalN=2 SCFTs. On the other hand, a similar analysis for mathcalN=(1,0) SCFTs in 6d as well as mathcalN=(0,4) SCFTs in 4d reveals a set of new dispersion relations at strong coupling. Based on semiclassical calculations, we set an argument that explains either of these cases.
