Wilson surface correlator in AdS/CFT

High Energy Physics - Theory 2026-08-05 v1

Abstract

We use the AdS/CFT correspondence to show that for two spherical Wilson surfaces, both in the fundamental representation of SU(N)SU(N) gauge group, in the six-dimensional (2,0)(2,0) theory, in the large NN limit there is a first order Gross-Ooguri phase transition at a certain critical separation distance that we obtain numerically.
