Brane expansions for anti-symmetric line operator index

High Energy Physics - Theory 2024-07-01 v2

Abstract

Based on the D5-brane realization of Wilson line operators in anti-symmetric representations, we propose brane expansion formulas for IN,kI_{N,k}, the Schur index of N=4{\cal N}=4 U(N)U(N) SYM decorated by line operators in the anti-symmetric representation of rank kk. For the large NN index I,kI_{\infty,k} we propose a double-sum expansion, and for finite NN index IN,kI_{N,k} we propose a quadruple-sum expansion. Objects causing finite kk and finite NN corrections are disk D3-branes ending on the D5-brane.
