From 2D Yang-Mills to Calogero-Sutherland via a colored particle
Marcia Tenser, Amilcar R. Queiroz
We study Yang-Mills theory coupled to a particle on a cylinder, where gauge invariance and compactness reduce the dynamics to a finite dimensional quantum system. In the Abelian ca…
Strong coupling dynamics of defect RG flows in ABJM
Marco S. Bianchi, Luigi Castiglioni, Silvia Penati +2
Wilson loop operators in ABJM theory provide a rich arena for studying defect conformal field theories (dCFTs) and the renormalization group (RG) flows connecting them. While these…
States of 2D Yang-Mills and Large-Volume Entanglement
Dmitry Melnikov, Jefferson T. Oliveira, Valmir Peixoto +1
We study entanglement in two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory, viewed as a quasi-topological model of emergent space. The most familiar class of states in this theory are states defin…
Framed defects in ABJ(M)
Marco S. Bianchi, Luigi Castiglioni, Silvia Penati +2
We investigate the role of framing in a family of 1/24 BPS Wilson loops in ABJ(M) theory, which define flows between 1/6 BPS and the 1/2 BPS superconformal fixed points. We analyze…
Conformal defects and RG flows in ABJM
Luigi Castiglioni, Silvia Penati, Marcia Tenser +1
Defects play a central role in many contexts, from condensed matter to quantum gravity. The situations in which the bulk theory is conformal and the defect inherits part of this sy…
Framing fermionic Wilson loops in ABJ(M)
Marco S. Bianchi, Luigi Castiglioni, Silvia Penati +2
Framing plays a central role in the evaluation of Wilson loops in theories with Chern-Simons actions. In pure Chern-Simons theory, it guarantees topological invariance, while in th…
Interpolating Bremsstrahlung function in ABJM
Luigi Castiglioni, Silvia Penati, Marcia Tenser +1
In ABJM theory, enriched RG flows between circular 1/6 BPS bosonic and 1/2 BPS fermionic Wilson loops have been introduced in arXiv:2211.16501. These flows are triggered by deforma…
Wilson loops and defect RG flows in ABJM
Luigi Castiglioni, Silvia Penati, Marcia Tenser +1
We continue our study of renormalization group (RG) flows on Wilson loop defects in ABJM theory, which we have initiated in arXiv:2211.16501. We generalize that analysis by includi…
Interpolating Wilson loops and enriched RG flows
Luigi Castiglioni, Silvia Penati, Marcia Tenser +1
We study new BPS circular Wilson loops in ABJ(M) theory, which are defined in terms of several parameters that continuously interpolate between previously known BPS lo…
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…
Notes on hyperloops in N=4 Chern-Simons-matter theories
Nadav Drukker, Marcia Tenser, Diego Trancanelli
We present new circular Wilson loops in three-dimensional N=4 quiver Chern-Simons-matter theory on S^3. At any given node of the quiver, a two-parameter family of operators can be…
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…
Entanglement in a Maxwell Theory coupled to a non-relativistic particle
Filiberto Ares, Amilcar R. de Queiroz, Marcia R. Tenser
We consider electromagnetism in a cylindrical manifold coupled to a nonrelativistic charged point-particle. Through the relation between this theory and the Landau model on a torus…
