Abstract: We study the compactification of 4D mathcalN=3 superconformal field theories (SCFTs) on S1, focusing on the relation between the 4D superconformal index and 3D partition function on the squashed sphere Sb3. Since the center mathfraku(1) of the mathfraku(3) R-symmetry of the 4D theory can mix with an mathcalN=6 abelian flavor symmetry in three dimensions, the precise 4D/3D relation for the global symmetry is not obvious. Focusing on the case in which the 3D theory is the ABJM theory, we demonstrate that the above R-symmetry mixing can be precisely identified by considering the Schur limit (and/or its mathcalN=3 cousin) of the 4D index. As a result, we generalize to the ABJM theories recent discussions on the connection between supersymmetry enhancement of the 4D index and squashing independence of the Sb3 partition function.
