Instantons and BPS Wilson loops
Massimo Bianchi, Michael B. Green, Stefano Kovacs
The one-instanton contribution to a circular BPS Wilson loop in N=4 SU(2) Yang--Mills theory is evaluated in semiclassical approximation. This article amplifies part of a talk give…

N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory and the AdS/SCFT correspondence
Stefano Kovacs
This dissertation reviews various aspects of the N=4 supersymmetric Yang--Mills theory in particular in relation with the AdS/CFT correspondence. The first two chapters are introdu…

Yang-Mills instantons vs. type IIB D-instantons
Massimo Bianchi, Stefano Kovacs
We report on the computation of the one-instanton contribution to the 16-point Green function of fermionic composite operators in N=4 Super YM theory. The remarkable agreement, ini…
