Abstract

We derive the perturbative expansion of a particular integrated correlator of two superconformal primary operators in the stress tensor multiplet of N=4\mathcal{N}=4 supersymmetric SU(N)SU(N) Yang-Mills theory in the presence of a half-BPS 't Hooft-line defect. The calculation is based on a recently derived expression for this physical observable in terms of a two-dimensional lattice sum with manifest automorphic properties under the electromagnetic duality group. When the gauge group is SU(2)SU(2), this analysis matches with the presented supersymmetric localisation approach while for higher-rank gauge groups, where no alternative formulation is available, the methods introduced prove to be crucial in obtaining the perturbative expansion of integrated correlators for 't Hooft-line defects.
