ADHM Wilson line defect indices

High Energy Physics - Theory 2024-09-24 v2

Abstract

The Coulomb and Higgs indices of the 3d N=4\mathcal{N}=4 U(N)U(N) ADHM theories can be decorated by line defect operators as the line defect correlators. We obtain exact closed-form expressions and various non-trivial algebraic relations for the correlators of the Wilson lines in the fundamental and (anti)symmetric representations by means of the Hall-Littlewood expansion, the Fermi-gas method and the residue calculation. From the large NN limit of the correlators we obtain the single particle gravity indices which are expected to encode the spectra of fluctuation modes on the gravity duals of line operators in M2-brane SCFTs.
