Abstract

As was shown in arXiv:2303.15207, the leading large NN, fixed kk correction in the localization result for the expectation value of the 12\frac{1}{2}-BPS circular Wilson loop in U(N)k×U(N)kU(N)_{k}\times U(N)_{-k} ABJM theory given by the (sin2πk)1(\sin\frac{2\pi}{ k})^{-1} factor can be reproduced on the dual M-theory side as the one-loop correction in the partition function of an M2 brane in AdS4×S7/Zk_{4}\times S^{7}/\mathbb{Z}_{k} with AdS2×S1_{2}\times S^{1} world volume. Here we prove, following the suggestion in arXiv:2408.10070, that the analogous fact is true also for the corresponding correction B1=12πkcot2πkB_1=-\frac{1}{2\pi k}\cot\frac{2\pi}{k} in the localization result for the Bremsstrahlung function associated with the Wilson line with a small cusp in either AdS4_4 or CP3\rm CP^3. The corresponding M2 brane is wrapped on the 11d circle and generalizes the type IIA string solution in AdS4×CP3_{4}\times \rm CP^3 ending on the cusped line. We show that the one-loop term in the M2 brane partition function reproduces the localization expression for B1B_1 as the coefficient of the leading term in its small cusp expansion.
