We study the two-point function of the stress-tensor multiplet of $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM in the presence of a line defect. To be more precise, we focus on the single-trace operator of conformal dimension two that sits in the $20'$ irrep of the…

We study cusped Wilson line operators in the Abelian Higgs model in $ d = 4 - \epsilon $ at large external charges. Using a double-scaling limit $ Q \to \infty $, $ \epsilon \to 0 $ with $ Q\epsilon $ fixed, we develop a semiclassical…
We perform exact computations of correlation functions of 1/2-BPS local operators and protected operator insertions on the 1/8-BPS Wilson loop in $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM. This generalizes the results of our previous paper arXiv:1802.05201,…
We present a large new family of Wilson loop operators in N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. For an arbitrary curve on the three dimensional sphere one can add certain scalar couplings to the Wilson loop so it preserves at least two…
The use of supersymmetric localisation has recently led to modular covariant expressions for certain integrated correlators of half-BPS operators in $\mathcal{N} = 4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with a general classical gauge group…
