More Fermionic Supersymmetric Wilson loops in Four Dimensions

High Energy Physics - Theory 2024-05-01 v3

Abstract

We construct supersymmetric fermionic Wilson loops along general curves in four-dimensional N=4\mathcal{N}=4 super Yang-Mills theory and along general planar curves in N=2\mathcal{N}=2 superconformal SU(N)×SU(N)SU(N)\times SU(N) quiver theory. These loops are generalizations of the Zarembo loops and are cohomologically equivalent to them. In N=4\mathcal{N}=4 super Yang-Mills theory, we compute their expectation values and verify the cohomological equivalence relation up to the order g4g^4 in perturbation theory.
