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…

We study ${\cal N}=3$ linear Chern-Simons-matter theories in the planar limit. The matter content of the theory is depicted by a linear-shape diagram with $n$ nodes and $n-1$ links for any $n$. The free energy and the vevs of BPS Wilson…

In the paper, we consider a path-dependent Hamilton-Jacobi equation with coinvariant derivatives over the space of continuous functions. Such equations arise from optimal control problems and differential games for time-delay systems. We…
