Renormalization of gravitational Wilson lines
Mert Besken, Eric D'Hoker, Ashwin Hegde +1
We continue the study of the Wilson line representation of conformal blocks in two-dimensional conformal field theory; these have an alternative interpretation as gravitational Wil…
Anomalous dimensions from quantum Wilson lines
Mert Besken, Ashwin Hegde, Per Kraus
We study the self-energy of a gravitating point particle in AdS, and compare to operator dimensions in CFT. In particular, we compute the one and two loop diagram contribut…
Holographic conformal blocks from interacting Wilson lines
Mert Besken, Ashwin Hegde, Eliot Hijano +1
We present a simple prescription for computing conformal blocks and correlation functions holographically in AdS in terms of Wilson lines merging at a bulk vertex. This is show…
General Results for Higher Spin Wilson Lines and Entanglement in Vasiliev Theory
Ashwin Hegde, Per Kraus, Eric Perlmutter
We develop tools for the efficient evaluation of Wilson lines in 3D higher spin gravity, and use these to compute entanglement entropy in the hs Vasiliev theory that governs t…
