Abstract
We compute the correlation function between a circular half-BPS Wilson loop (or straight Wilson line) and a local operator in ABJM theory utilizing its M-theory description. The local operator can be a -BPS single-trace chiral primary operator or the stress-energy tensor. Using the AdS/CFT correspondence, these correlators are dual to fluctuations of a probe M2-brane in . We derive analytic results for both cases and compare them with existing results based on supersymmetric localization in the literature. In the large- limit with finite, our holograkphic results exhibit perfect agreement with localization.
