We study $\frac{1}{4}$-BPS Wilson loops in four-dimensional SU$(N$) ${\mathcal{N}}=2$ super-Yang-Mills theories with conformal matter in an arbitrary representation $\mathcal{R}$. These operators are formed of two meridians on the…

A half-BPS circular Wilson loop in $\mathcal{N}=4$ $SU(N)$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in an arbitrary representation is described by a Gaussian matrix model with a particular insertion. The additional entanglement entropy of a…

This paper studies in great detail a family of supersymmetric Wilson loop operators in N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory we have recently found. For a generic curve on an S^3 in space-time the loops preserve two supercharges but we will…

We derive an infinite sequence of Schwinger-Dyson equations for $N=1$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. The fundamental and the only variable employed is the Wilson-loop geometrically represented in $N=1$ superspace: it organizes an…

In recent work we began a study of the correlators of multiple light-like Wilson loops in $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory, focussing primarily on tree-level calculations and, beyond tree-level, to the Abelian theory. Here we…

We compute the Large N limit of several objects related to the two-dimensional Euclidean Yang-Mills measure on compact connected orientable surfaces of genus larger or equal to one, with a structure group taken among the classical groups of…

Although lattice Yang-Mills theory on finite subgraphs of $\mathbb Z^d$ is easy to rigorously define, the construction of a satisfactory continuum theory on $\mathbb R^d$ is a major open problem when $d \geq 3$. Such a theory should in some…

Wilson loops with lightlike polygonal contours have been conjectured to be equivalent to MHV scattering amplitudes in N=4 super Yang-Mills. We compute such Wilson loops for special polygonal contours at two loops in perturbation theory.…

The vacuum expectation value of the Wilson loop functional in pure Yang-Mills theory on an arbitrary two-dimensional orientable manifold is studied. We consider the calculation of this quantity for the abelian theory in the continuum case…

The leading singularities of one-loop scattering amplitudes in planar $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory are known to factorise into products of tree-level amplitudes, and this can be seen from a number of different perspectives e.g.…

We study a class of Wilson Loops in N =4, D=4 Yang-Mills theory belonging to the chiral ring of a N=2, d=1 subalgebra. We show that the expectation value of these loops is independent of their shape. Using properties of the chiral ring, we…

We study a novel geometric expansion for scattering amplitudes in the planar sector of N=4 super Yang-Mills theory, in the context of the Amplituhedron which reproduces the all-loop integrand as a canonical differential form on the positive…

We study the quantum properties of certain BPS Wilson loops in ${\cal N}=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. They belong to a general family, introduced recently, in which the addition of particular scalar couplings endows generic loops on…

We give an almost purely combinatorial expression for Wilson loop expectations of the Yang-Mills holonomy process with values in the unitary group on a compact oriented surface, possibly with boundary and arbitrary boundary conditions. Our…

We present results for Wilson loops smoothed with the Yang-Mills gradient flow and matched through the scale $t_0$. They provide renormalized and precise operators allowing to test the $1/N^2$ scaling both at finite lattice spacing and in…

In this contribution to the review on localization in gauge theories we investigate the matrix models derived from localizing N=1 super Yang-Mills on S^5. We consider the large-N limit and attempt to solve the matrix model by a saddle-point…

We describe our recent work on the lattice formulation of N=4 three-dimensional super-Yang-Mills. Our formulation was based on the Donaldson-Witten twist, but we have also been studying the formulation based on the Blau-Thompson twist by…

Some exact expressions for non-selfintersecting Wilson loops in Yang Mills theory on the infinite plane are reviewed.

This work is about pure Yang-Mills theory in four Euclidean dimensions with gauge group SU(N). We study rectangular smeared Wilson loops on the lattice at large N and relatively close to the large-N transition point in their eigenvalue…
