Quark-Monopole Potentials in Large N Super Yang-Mills

Abstract

We compute the quark-monopole potential for $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills in the large $N$ limit. We find an attractive potential that falls off as 1/L and is manifestly invariant under $g\to 1/g$. The strength of the potential is less than the quark-antiquark and monopole-antimonopole potentials.
