$\mathcal{N}=4$ line defect correlators of type BCD

High Energy Physics - Theory 2025-07-08 v2

Abstract

We analyze the line defect correlation functions decorating the supersymmetric indices of N=4\mathcal{N}=4 super Yang-Mills theories with orthogonal and symplectic gauge groups. We obtain exact closed-form expressions for the correlators by means of combinatorial methods associated with the group characters, including the generalized Murnaghan-Nakayama rules. The exact results for the large NN correlators lead to the gravity indices for the gravity dual spectrum of the fluctuations of the fundamental string wrapping AdS2AdS_2 and those of the fat string, the D5-brane wrapping AdS2AdS_2 ×\times RP4\mathbb{RP}^4.
