Abstract
We examine the topologically twisted index of \( \mathcal{N} \) = 4 super-Yang-Mills with gauge group SU(N ) on T 2×S2, and demonstrate that it receives contributions from multiple sectors corresponding to the freely acting orbifolds T2/ℤm × ℤn where N = mn. After summing over these sectors, the index can be expressed as the elliptic genus of a twodimensional \( \mathcal{N} \) = (0, 2) theory resulting from Kaluza-Klein reduction on S2. This provides an alternate path to the ‘high-temperature’ limit of the index, and confirms the connection to the right-moving central charge of the \( \mathcal{N} \) = (0, 2) theory.
