Abstract: We perform a series of dimensional reductions of the 6d, $mathcalN=(2,0)$ SCFT on $S^{2}imesSigmaimesIimes{S}^1$ down to 2d on $Sigma$. The reductions are performed in three steps: (i) a reduction on $S^1$ (accompanied by a topological twist along $Sigma$) leading to a supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on $S^{2}imesSigmaimesI$, (ii) a further reduction on $S^2$ resulting in a complex Chern--Simons theory defined on $SigmaimesI$, with the real part of the complex Chern-Simons level being zero, and the imaginary part being proportional to the ratio of the radii of $S^2$ and $S^1$, and (iii) a final reduction to the boundary modes of complex Chern--Simons theory with the Nahm pole boundary condition at both ends of the interval $I$, which gives rise to a complex Toda CFT on the Riemann surface $Sigma$. As the reduction of the 6d theory on $Sigma$ would give rise to an $mathcalN=2$ supersymmetric theory on $S^{2}imesIimes{S}^1$, our results imply a 4d-2d duality between four-dimensional $mathcalN=2$ supersymmetric theory with boundary and two-dimensional complex Toda theory.
