abstract
$N$ M5-branes probing the intersection between the orbifold $\mathbb{C}^2/\Gamma_\text{ADE}$ and an $E_8$ wall give rise to 6d $(1,0)$ SCFTs known as ADE-type orbi-instantons. At fixed $N$ and order of the orbifold, each element of $\text{Hom}(\Gamma_\text{ADE},E_8)$ defines a different SCFT. The SCFTs are connected by Higgs branch RG flows, which generically reduce the flavor symmetry of the UV fixed point. We determine the full hierarchy of these RG flows for type A, i.e. $\mathbb{C}^2/\mathbb{Z}_k$, for any value of $N$ and $k$. The hierarchy takes the form of an intricate Hasse diagram: each node represents an IR orbi-instanton (homomorphism), and each edge an allowed flow, compatibly with the 6d $a$-theorem. The partial order is defined via quiver subtraction of the 3d magnetic quivers associated with the 6d SCFTs, which is equivalent to performing a so-called Kraft-Procesi transition between homomorphisms.

Orbi-Instantons and Class $\mathcal{S}$ Theories of Type D
For D-type orbi-instantons, the torus-reduction dictionary to three-punctured class S theories is written explicitly via s- and m-labels, covers only a subset of the landscape, and misses some Higgsing flows.

Atomic Higgsings of 6D SCFTs II: Induced Flows
For 6d SCFTs, atomic endpoint-changing Higgsings (induced flows) are identified with induced nilpotent orbits, and an analogous induction of discrete E8 homomorphisms is physically defined for orbi-instanton theories.
