We compute the static potential associated to the locally 1/2 BPS Wilson loop in ${\cal N}$=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with ${\cal O}(\lambda^2/r)$ accuracy. We also resum the leading logarithms, of ${\cal…
We study S-duality in N=4 super Yang-Mills with an arbitrary gauge group by determining the operator product expansion of the circular BPS Wilson and 't Hooft loop operators. The coefficients in the expansion of an 't Hooft loop operator…
We construct for the first time Drukker-Trancanelli (DT) type fermionic Bogomol\`nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) Wilson loops in four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal $SU(N)\times SU(N)$ quiver theory and $\mathcal{N}=4$ super…
We consider certain 1/4 BPS Wilson loop operators in SU(N) ${\cal N}=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, whose expectation value can be computed exactly via supersymmetric localization. Holographically, these operators are mapped to…
We present a similarity transformation theory based on a polynomial form of a particle-hole pair excitation operator. In the weakly correlated limit, this polynomial becomes an exponential, leading to coupled cluster doubles. In the…
We consider conformal N=2 super Yang-Mills theories with gauge group SU(N) and Nf=2N fundamental hypermultiplets in presence of a circular 1/2-BPS Wilson loop. It is natural to conjecture that the matrix model which describes the…
We consider the Chern-Simons theory with Wilson lines in 3D and in 1D in the BV-BFV formalism of Cattaneo-Mnev-Reshetikhin. In particular, we allow for Wilson lines to end on the boundary of the space-time manifold. In the toy model of 1D…
We study BPS vortices in the mass-deformed non-relativistic ${\C N}=6$ $U(N)_k\times U(N)_{-k}$ Chern-Simons-matter theory. We focus on the massive deformation that preserves the maximal ${\C N}=6$ supersymmetry, and consider a…
Chern-Simons gauge theory is formulated on three dimensional $Z_2$ orbifolds. The locus of singular points on a given orbifold is equivalent to a link of Wilson lines. This allows one to reduce any correlation function on orbifolds to a sum…
We consider the four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ quiver gauge theory arising from a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ orbifold of $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills with gauge group $SU(2N)$. We study the integrated correlator between a half-BPS Wilson line and…
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 compute the expectation value of the 1/2 BPS circular Wilson loop operator in ABJ(M) theory at two loops in perturbation theory. Our result turns out to be in exact agreement with the weak coupling limit of the prediction coming from…
The PP-wave/SYM proposal in its original form emphasizes a duality relation between the masses of the string states and the anomalous dimensions of the corresponding BMN operators in gauge theory, the mass--dimension type duality. In this…
A BPS limit is systematically derived for straight multi- D- and DF-strings from the D3D3bar system in the context of boundary superstring field theory. The BPS limit is obtained in the limit of thin D(F)-strings, where the Bogomolnyi…
We use the relation between 2d Yang-Mills and Brownian motion to show that 2d Yang-Mills on the cylinder is related to Chern-Simons theory in a class of lens spaces. Alternatively, this can be regarded as 2dYM computing certain correlators…
The correlator of a Wilson loop with a local operator in N=4 SYM theory can be represented by a string amplitude in AdS(5)xS(5). This amplitude describes an overlap of the boundary state, which is associated with the loop, with the string…
BMN operators are characterized by the fact that they have infinite R-charge and finite anomalous dimension in the BMN double scaling limit. Using this fact, we show that the BMN operators close under operator product expansion and form a…
We discussed one-point functions of BPS Wilson loops in supersymmetric five dimensional gauge theories defined on M_4\times S^1 by using path integral expression of Wilson loops. We found that the Wilson loop gives interaction terms between…
We study a holographic description for correlation function of 1/4 BPS Wilson loop operator and 1/2 BPS local operator carrying a large R-charge of order \sqrt \lambda. We construct a rotating string solution which is extended in S5 as well…
We study local operators of U(N)xU(N) N=6 Chern-Simons-matter theory including a class of magnetic monopole operators. To take into account the interaction of monopoles and basic fields for large Chern-Simons level k, we consider the…
