The Partition Function of a Wilson Loop in a Strongly Coupled $\mathcal{N}=4$ Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Plasma with Fluctuations

De-fu Hou, James T. Liu, Hai-cang Ren

We examine the one-loop partition function describing the fluctuations of the superstring in a Schwarzschild-AdS${}_5\times S^5$ background. On the bosonic side, we demonstrate the o…
