We study the N=2 four-dimensional superconformal index in various interesting limits, such that only states annihilated by more than one supercharge contribute. Extrapolating from the SU(2) generalized quivers, which have a Lagrangian description, we conjecture explicit formulae for all A-type quivers of class S, which in general do not have one. We test our proposals against several expected dualities. The index can always be interpreted as a correlator in a two-dimensional topological theory, which we identify in each limit as a certain deformation of two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory. The structure constants of the topological algebra are diagonal in the basis of Macdonald polynomials of the holonomies.

  1. Fermionic trace relations and supersymmetric indices at finite $N$

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    The supersymmetric index in a one-fermion matrix model for N=4 SYM is independent of N due to exact cancellations between bosonic and fermionic trace relations.

  2. On non-relativistic integrable models and 4d SCFTs

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Generalized Schur indices of N=2 class S theories are expressed using eigenfunctions of non-relativistic elliptic Calogero-Moser models, with extensions claimed for N=1 SCFTs via limits of models like Inozemtsev.
