Rigid surface operators
Surface operators in gauge theory are analogous to Wilson and ’t Hooft line operators except that they are supported on a two-dimensional surface rather than a one-dimensional curve. In a previous paper, we constructed a certain class of half-BPS surface operators in N = 4 super Yang–Mills theory, and determined how they transform under S-duality. Those surface operators depend on a relatively ...
متن کاملOn elliptic operators and non-rigid shapes
Many shape analysis methods treat the geometry of an object as a metric space captured by the Laplace-Beltrami operator. In this thesis we present an adaptation of a classical operator from quantum mechanics to shape analysis where we suggest to integrate a scalar function through a unified elliptical Hamiltonian operator. We study the addition of a potential function to the Laplacian as a gene...
متن کاملSurface Operators
We give an introduction and a broad survey of surface operators in 4d gauge theories, with a particular emphasis on aspects relevant to AGT correspondence. One of the main goals is to highlight the boundary between what we know and what we don’t know about surface operators. To this end, the survey contains many open questions and suggests various directions for future research. Although this a...
متن کاملAs-rigid-as-possible surface modeling
Modeling tasks, such as surface deformation and editing, can be analyzed by observing the local behavior of the surface. We argue that defining a modeling operation by asking for rigidity of the local transformations is useful in various settings. Such formulation leads to a non-linear, yet conceptually simple energy formulation, which is to be minimized by the deformed surface under particular...
متن کاملHolography of BPS surface operators
We study a class of dilatation invariant BPS surface operators in 4-dimensional N = 4 Super Yang-Mills theory and their holographic duals in type IIB string theory in AdS5×S. First we take an example of 1/4 BPS surface operator and study it in detail from the holographic point of view. The gravity dual of this surface operator is a D3-brane characterized by a holomorphic submanifold. The supers...
