Spherical Branes and the BMN Matrix Quantum Mechanics
Nikolay Bobev, Pieter Bomans, Fridrik Freyr Gautason
We study the maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on using supersymmetric localisation and holography. We argue that the analytic continuation in dimension to yie…
Holographic Generalised Gukov-Witten Defects
Pieter Bomans, Lorenzo Tranchedone
Spindle and disc solutions have received significant attention in recent literature. However, it is not entirely clear what these supergravity solutions represent in the dual SCFT.…
Wilson Loops and Spherical Branes
Davide Astesiano, Pieter Bomans, Fridrik Freyr Gautason +2
We study 1/2-BPS Wilson loop operators in maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on -dimensional spheres. Their vacuum expectation values can be computed at large throug…
On the Class Origin of Spindle Solutions
Pieter Bomans, Christopher Couzens
We analyse the backreacted geometry corresponding to a stack of M5-branes wrapped on a spindle, with a view towards precision tests of the dual superconformal fie…
