Wilson loops, M2-branes and strings
Alexia Nix
We establish a universal approach for studying the semiclassical quantization of both probe M2-branes and fundamental strings in asymptotically AdS backgrounds. On the field…
Massive gravity applications for deformations
Alexia Nix, Evangelos Tsolakidis
We employ the massive gravity approach to stress-tensor deformations in a variety of scenarios, obtaining novel results and establishing new connections. Starting with perturbation…
Universal holographic Wilson loops in 3d SCFTs
Fridrik Freyr Gautason, Alexia Nix
We study the vacuum expectation value of half-BPS Wilson loop operators in two families of superconformal Chern-Simons-matter theories. The first family is dual to…
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…
