Defect CFT techniques in the 6d theory
Nadav Drukker, Malte Probst, Maxime Trépanier
Surface operators are among the most important observables of the 6d theory. Here we apply the tools of defect CFT to study local operator insertions into the…

Surface operators in the 6d theory
Nadav Drukker, Malte Probst, Maxime Trépanier
The 6d theory has natural surface operator observables, which are akin in many ways to Wilson loops in gauge theories. We propose a definition of a "locally BPS…

Roadmap on Wilson loops in 3d Chern-Simons-matter theories
Nadav Drukker, Diego Trancanelli, Lorenzo Bianchi +18
This is a compact review of recent results on supersymmetric Wilson loops in ABJ(M) and related theories. It aims to be a quick introduction to the state of the art in the field an…
