We study a class of four-dimensional N=1 superconformal field theories obtained from the six-dimensional (1, 0) theory, on M5-branes on ℂ2/ℤk orbifold singularity, compactified on a Riemann surface. This produces various quiver gauge theories whose matter contents are chiral. We classify the building blocks associated to pairs-of-pants, and study the gauging of them as the gluing of punctures. The Riemann surface picture makes the duality invariance of the resulting quiver theories manifest: the theories associated to the same Riemann surface flow to the same nontrivial infrared fixed point. We explicitly check this from the ’t Hooft anomalies of the global symmetries and central charges.
