| contents | The 6d (2,0) theory of $N$ M5 branes compactified on the product geometry $T^2\times S$, where $S$ is a Kähler 4-manifold, can be studied in two different limits. In one limit, the size of $T^2$ is taken to zero and together with a topological twist one arrives at the Vafa-Witten partition function on $S$. On the other hand, taking the size of $S$ to zero leads to a 2d $\mathcal{N}=(0,4)$ theory. This gives rise to a 2d-4d correspondence where the Vafa-Witten partition functions are identified with the characters of the 2d theory. In this paper, we test this conjecture for Hirzebruch and Del Pezzo surfaces by employing the technique of SymTFT to show that the modular transformation properties of the two sides match. Moreover, we construct modular invariant 2d absolute partition functions and verify that they are invariant under gauging of a discrete symmetry at the self-dual point in coupling space. This provides further hints for the presence of duality defects in the 2d SCFT. |
