Abstract: We compute the Lens space index for 4d supersymmetric gauge theories involving symplectic gauge groups. This index can distinguish between different gauge groups from a given algebra and it matches across theories related by supersymmetric dualities. We provide explicit calculations for mathcalN=4 SYM and for classes of mathcalN=2 and mathcalN=1 Lagrangian quivers related by S-duality. In these cases the index matches across the S-dual phases, while models in different S-duality orbits have a different Lens index. We provide analogous computations for a 4d mathcalN=1 toric quiver gauge theory corresponding to a mathbbZ7 orbifold of mathbbC3. This SU(n)7 gauge theory becomes interesting in the case of n=2 because it is conformally dual to other two models, with symplectic and unitary gauge groups, bifundamentals and antisymmetric tensors. We explicitly check this triality at the level of the Lens space index.
