Light-Cone Wilson Loops and the String/Gauge Correspondence
We investigate a Π-shape Wilson loop in N = 4 super Yang–Mills theory, which lies partially at the light-cone, and consider an associated open superstring in AdS5 × S5. We discuss how this Wilson loop determines the anomalous dimensions of conformal operators with large Lorentz spin and present an explicit calculation in perturbation theory to order λ. We find the minimal surface in the supergr...
متن کاملHolographic Wilson Loops
We show that all half-BPS Wilson loop operators in N = 4 SYM – which are labeled by Young tableaus – have a gravitational dual description in terms of D5-branes or alternatively in terms of D3-branes in AdS5×S. We prove that the insertion of a half-BPS Wilson loop operator in the N = 4 SYM path integral is achieved by integrating out the degrees of freedom on a configuration of bulk D5-branes o...
متن کاملWilson loops as Precursors
There is substantial evidence that string theory on AdS5 × S5 is a holographic theory in which the number of degrees of freedom scales as the area of the boundary in Planck units. Precisely how the theory can describe bulk physics using only surface degrees of freedom is not well understood. A particularly paradoxical situation involves an event deep in the interior of the bulk space. The event...
متن کاملAbelian Dominance in Wilson Loops
It has been conjectured that the Abelian projection of QCD is responsible for the confinement of color. Using a gauge independent definition of the Abelian projection (which does not employ any gauge fixing) we prove the Abelian dominance. In specific we prove that the gauge field configuration which contributes to the Wilson loop integral is precisely the gauge covariant part of the restricted...
متن کاملSpecial contact Wilson loops
Wilson loops in N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory correspond at strong coupling to extremal surfaces in AdS5. We study a class of extremal surfaces known as special Legendrian submanifolds. The ”hemisphere” corresponding to the circular Wilson loop is an example of a special Legendrian submanifold, and we give another example. We formulate the necessary conditions for the contour on the bo...
