| contents | The Schur index in four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory with $U(N)$ gauge group has a natural two-parameter deformation. We find that a matrix integral in such a deformed Schur index can be exactly evaluated by using Macdonald polynomials. The resulting expression is a simple combinatorial summation over partitions. An extension to line operator indices is straightforward. In particular, for an anti-symmetric representation, the line operator index has a relatively simple form. We further discuss infinite $N$ analysis and finite $N$ giant graviton expansions. |
