Abstract
We prove that 3d superconformal index for general U(N) gauge group with fundamentals and anti-fundmentals with/without Chern-Simons terms is factorized into vortex and anti-vortex partition function. We show that for simple cases, 3d vortex partition function coincides with a suitable topological open string partition function. We provide much more elegant derivation at the index level for Seiberg-like dualities of unitary gauge groups with fundamantal matters and mirror symmetry
