Classifying BPS bosonic Wilson loops in 3d Chern-Simons-matter theories

Nadav Drukker, Ziwen Kong, Malte Probst +2

We study the possible BPS Wilson loops in three-dimensional Chern-Simons-matter theory which involve only the gauge field and bilinears of the scalars. Previously know…

Conformal and non-conformal hyperloop deformations of the 1/2 BPS circle

Nadav Drukker, Ziwen Kong, Malte Probst +2

We construct new large classes of BPS Wilson hyperloops in three-dimensional quiver Chern-Simons-matter theory on . The main strategy is to start with the 1/2 BPS…

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…

Yang-Mills Theory and the ABC Conjecture

Yang-Hui He, Zhi Hu, Malte Probst +1

We establish a precise correspondence between the ABC Conjecture and N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory. This is achieved by combining three ingredients: (i) Elkies' method of mapping ABC…
