ALESSANDRO PINI, Università di Oviedo: I will discuss RG flows in 5d gauge theories triggered either by VEV's of mesonic or baryonic operators. As a warm-up, I will explicitly discuss the counterpart of these flows in 4d gauge theories with N=2 supersymmetry by focussing on the Al theory. As opposed to the N=1 case, in cases with 8 supercharges it is necessary to solve a more involved PDE. In the 5d case the boundary conditions for such equation play a crucial role in order to reproduce the expected spectrum.
