Wilson loop via AdS/CFT duality

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The Wilson loop in N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory admits a dual description as a macroscopic string configuration in the adS/CFT correspondence. We discuss the correction to the quark anti-quark potential arising from the fluctuations of the superstring.
