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…
Supersymmetric Wilson loops on S^3
Nadav Drukker, Simone Giombi, Riccardo Ricci +1
This paper studies in great detail a family of supersymmetric Wilson loop operators in N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory we have recently found. For a generic curve on an S^3 in…
Wilson loops: From four-dimensional SYM to two-dimensional YM
Nadav Drukker, Simone Giombi, Riccardo Ricci +1
In this note we study supersymmetric Wilson loops restricted to an S^2 submanifold of four-dimensional space in N=4 super Yang-Mills. We provide evidence from both perturbation the…
More supersymmetric Wilson loops
Nadav Drukker, Simone Giombi, Riccardo Ricci +1
We present a large new family of Wilson loop operators in N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. For an arbitrary curve on the three dimensional sphere one can add certain scalar co…
