Mandelstam formulae for generalised Wilson loops

High Energy Physics - Theory 2018-10-11 v1

Abstract

We derive Mandelstam formulae for two generalisations of the Wilson loop. In these generalisations path-ordering of Lie algebra generators is replaced by an anti-commuting one dimensional field theory along the loop. We extend the calculation to the N=1 super-Wilson loop by introducing a superpartner for the additional field.
