Abstract: We study the twisted indices of mathcalN=4 supersymmetric gauge theories in three dimensions on spatial S2 with an angular momentum refinement. We demonstrate factorisation of the index into holomorphic blocks for the T[SU(N)] theory in the presence of generic fluxes and fugacities. We also investigate the relation between the twisted index, Hilbert series and the moduli space of vortices. In particular, we show that each holomorphic block coincides with a generating function for the chit genera of the moduli spaces of "local" vortices. The twisted index itself coincides with a corresponding generating function for the chit genera of moduli spaces of "global" vortices in agreement with a proposal of Bullimore et. al. We generalise this geometric interpretation of the twisted index to include fluxes and Chern-Simons levels. For the T[SU(N)] theory, the relevant moduli spaces are the local and global versions of Laumon space respectively and we demonstrate the proposed agreements explicitly using results from the mathematical literature. Finally, we exhibit a precise relation between the Coulomb branch Hilbert series and the Poincar'e polynomials of the corresponding vortex moduli spaces.
