BPS operators from the Wilson loop in the 3-dimensional supersymmetric Chern-Simons theory
arXiv:0902.2381 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.80.086001
Abstract
We consider the small deformation of the point-like Wilson loop in the 3-dimensional superconformal Chern-Simons theory. By Taylor expansion of the point-like Wilson loop in powers of the loop variables, we obtain the BPS operators that correspond to the excited string states of the dual IIA string theory on the pp wave background. The BPS conditions of the Wilson loop constrain both the loop variables and the forms of the operators obtained in the Taylor expansion.
