A bstract We compute the Schur index of Argyres-Douglas theories of type ( A N −1 ,A M −1 ) with surface operators inserted, via the Higgsing prescription proposed by D. Gaiotto, L. Rastelli and S.S. Razamat. These surface operators are obtained by turning on position-dependent vacuum expectation va...
