We study the 1/2 BPS circular Wilson loop in four-dimensional SU(N), $N = 2$ SYM theories with massless hypermultiplets and non-vanishing $\beta$-function. Using super-symmetric localization on $S_4$ , we map the path-integral associated…
Commutative Yang-Mills theories in 1+1 dimensions exhibit an interesting interplay between geometrical properties and U(N) gauge structures: in the exact expression of a Wilson loop with $n$ windings a non trivial scaling intertwines $n$…
We present a full two-loop O(g^6) perturbative field theoretic calculation of the expectation value of two circular Maldacena-Wilson loops in D=4 N=4 supersymmetric U(N) gauge theory. It is demonstrated that, after taking into account very…
Building on our previous work arXiv:1712.06874 we consider one-parameter Polchinski-Sully generalization of the Wilson-Maldacena (WM) loops in planar N=4 SYM theory. This breaks local supersymmetry of WM loop and leads to running of the…
We consider a generalized connection in three dimensions and show that it emerges in Chern-Simons-Maxwell theories when one studies the disorder instanton operator. We generalize this construction to non-Abelian theories and find that the…
We show that the renormalized vacuum expectation value of the Wilson loop for topologically massive abelian gauge theory in $\RR^3$ can be defined so that its large-mass limit be the renormalized vacuum expectation value of the Wilson loop…

We calculate Wilson loops of various sizes up to loop order $n=20$ for lattice sizes of $L^4 (L=4, 6, 8, 12)$ using the technique of Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory in quenched QCD. This allows to investigate the behaviour of the…
Supersymmetric circular Wilson loops in $\mathcal{N}=4$ Super-Yang-Mills theory are discussed starting from their Gaussian matrix model representations. Previous results on the generating functions of Wilson loops are reviewed and extended…
Recently it was shown that the scaling dimension of the operator $\phi^n$ in $\lambda(\bar\phi\phi)^2$ theory may be computed semiclassically at the Wilson-Fisher fixed point in $d=4-\epsilon$, for generic values of $\lambda n$, and this…
We compute the contribution to the modulus of the one-loop effective action in pure non-Abelian Chern-Simons theory in an arbitrary covariant gauge. We find that the results are dependent on both the gauge parameter ($\alpha$) and the…
We make a precision test of a recently proposed conjecture relating Chern-Simons gauge theory to topological string theory on the resolution of the conifold. First, we develop a systematic procedure to extract string amplitudes from vacuum…
In this work we review various findings in the planar quantum physics with the special emphasis on the two-component quantum electrodynamics in three-dimensional spacetime (QED_{3}) with the Chern-Simons (CS) term. First the classical…
We consider the short-distance expansion of the product of two gluon field strength tensors connected by a straight-line-ordered Wilson line. The vacuum expectation value of this nonlocal operator is a common object in studies of the QCD…

This Ph.D. thesis reaches two main results. The first one is represented by a detailed study, in Feynman gauge, of the perturbative ${\cal O}(g^4)$ contribution to a space-time Wilson loop, with respect to its (expected) Abelian-like time…
In this work, we study the line and loop operators in three-dimensional ${\mathcal N}=2$ fishnet theories in detail. We construct the straight line and circular loop operators which are at least classically half-BPS. We develop a new…
We study the circular Wilson loop in the symmetric representation of U(N) in $\mathcal{N} = 4$ super-Yang-Mills (SYM). In the large N limit, we computed the exponentially-suppressed corrections for strong coupling, which suggests…
We give a precise definition of BPS vortex loops in 3D non-abelian gauge theories with ${\cal N}=2$ SUSY by the path integral over fields with a prescribed singular behavior. We compute the expectation value of a BPS vortex loop on an…
We consider general supersymmetric Wilson loops in ABJM model, i.e. Chern-Simons-matter theory in 2+1 dimensions with N=6 supersymmetry. They are so-called Zarembo-type: the Wilson loops of our interest have generic contours in spacetime,…
