Abstract
We find \( \mathcal{N} \) = 1 Lagrangian gauge theories that flow to generalized ArgyresDouglas theories with \( \mathcal{N} \) = 2 supersymmetry. We find that certain SU quiver gauge theories flow to generalized Argyres-Douglas theories of type (A k−1 , A mk−1) and (I m,km , S). We also find quiver gauge theories of SO/Sp gauge groups flowing to the (A 2m−1 , D 2mk+1), (A 2m , D 2m(k−1)+k ) and D m(2k + 2) m(2k + 2) [m] theories.
