The 1/2 BPS 't Hooft loops in N=4 SYM as instantons in 2d Yang-Mills
Simone Giombi, Vasily Pestun
We extend the recent conjecture on the relation between a certain 1/8 BPS subsector of 4d N=4 SYM on S^2 and 2d Yang-Mills theory by turning on circular 1/2 BPS 't Hooft operators…

ZZ boundary states and fragmented AdS2 spaces
Simone Giombi, Xi Yin
In this paper we show that Liouville gravity on the strip with Zamolodchikov-Zamolodchikov (ZZ) boundary conditions has a semi-classical interpretation in terms of fragmented AdS2…
