Integrability and Wilson loops: the wavy line contour
نویسنده
چکیده
The Wilson loop with a wavy line contour is studied using integrable methods. The auxiliary problem is solved and the Lax operator is built to first order in perturbation theory, considering a small perturbation from the straight line. Finally the spectral curve of the solution is considered.

Two universal results for Wilson loops at strong coupling
We present results for Wilson loops in strongly coupled gauge theories. The loops may be taken around an arbitrarily shaped contour and in any field theory with a dual IIB geometry of the form M × S5. No assumptions about supersymmetry are made. The first result uses D5 branes to show how the loop in any antisymmetric representation is computed in terms of the loop in the fundamental representa...
متن کاملWavy Wilson Line and AdS / CFT
Wilson loops which are small deviations from straight, infinite lines, called wavy lines, are considered in the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence. A single wavy line and the connected correlation function of a straight and wavy line are considered. It is argued that, to leading order in “waviness”, the functional form of the loop is universal and the coefficient, which is a function of the ...
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...
متن کاملThe Master Field in Generalised QCD2
As an illustration of the formalism of the master field we consider generalised QCD2. We show how Wilson Loop averages for an arbitrary contour can be computed explicitly and with some ease. A generalised Hopf equation is shown to govern the behaviour of the eigenvalue density of Wilson loops. The collective field description of the theory is therefore deduced. Finally, the non-trivial master g...
متن کاملOn the integrability of Wilson loops in AdS5 × S: Some periodic ansatze
Wilson loops are calculated within the AdS/CFT correspondence by finding a classical solution to the string equations of motion in AdS5×S and evaluating its action. An important fact is that this σ-model used to evaluate the Wilson loops is integrable, a feature that has gained relevance through the study of spinning strings carrying large quantum numbers and spin-chains. We apply the same tech...
