Abstract

We brute-force evaluate the vacuum character for N=2\mathcal N=2 vertex operator algebras labelled by crystallographic complex reflection groups G(k,1,1)=ZkG(k,1,1)=\mathbb Z_k, k=3,4,6k=3,4,6, and G(3,1,2)G(3,1,2). For Z3,4\mathbb Z_{3,4} and G(3,1,2)G(3,1,2) these vacuum characters have been conjectured to respectively reproduce the Macdonald limit of the superconformal index for rank one and rank two S-fold N=3\mathcal N=3 theories in four dimensions. For the Z3\mathbb Z_3 case, and in the limit where the Macdonald index reduces to the Schur index, we find agreement with predictions from the literature.
