We construct a consistent reduction ansatz of eleven-dimensional supergravity to N =2 SO(4) seven-dimensional gauged supergravity with topological mass term for the three-form field. The ansatz is obtained from a truncation of the S 4 reduction giving rise to the maximal N =4 SO(5) gauged supergravity. Therefore, the consistency is guaranteed by the consistency of the S 4 reduction. Unlike the gauged supergravity without topological mass having a half-supersymmetric domain wall vacuum, the resulting 7D gauged supergravity theory admits a maximally supersymmetric AdS 7 critical point. This corresponds to N = (1, 0) superconformal field theory in six dimensions. We also study RG flows from this N = (1, 0) SCFT to non-conformal N = (1, 0) Super Yang-Mills theories in the seven-dimensional framework and use the reduction ansatz to uplift this RG flow to eleven dimensions.
