Loop operators and S-duality from curves on Riemann surfaces
We study Wilson-’t Hooft loop operators in a class of N = 2 superconformal field theories recently introduced by Gaiotto. In the case that the gauge group is a product of SU(2) groups, we classify all possible loop operators in terms of their electric and magnetic charges subject to the Dirac quantization condition. We then show that this precisely matches Dehn’s classification of homotopy clas...
متن کاملOne-Loop Riemann Surfaces in Schnabl Gauge
Due to a peculiar behavior at the open string midpoint, loop diagrams in Schnabl gauge were expected to fail to produce the relevant closed string moduli. We find that closed string moduli are generated because the Riemann surfaces are built with slanted wedges: semi-infinite strips whose edges have parameterizations related by scaling. We examine in detail one-loop string diagrams and find tha...
متن کاملBubbling Surface Operators And S-Duality
We construct smooth asymptotically AdS5×S solutions of Type IIB supergravity corresponding to all the half-BPS surface operators in N = 4 SYM. All the parameters labeling a half-BPS surface operator are identified in the corresponding bubbling geometry. We use the supergravity description of surface operators to study the action of the SL(2, Z) duality group of N = 4 SYM on the parameters of th...
متن کاملRiemann Surfaces, Plane Algebraic Curves and Their Period Matrices
The aim of this paper is to present theoretical basis for computing a representation of a compact Riemann surface as an algebraic plane curve and to compute a numerical approximation for its period matrix. We will describe a program Cars ((3]) that can be used to deene Riemann surfaces for computations. Cars allows one also to perform the Fenchel{Nielsen twist and other deformations on Riemann ...
متن کاملComputing on Riemann Surfaces
These notes are a review on computational methods that allow us to use computers as a tool in the research of Riemann surfaces, algebraic curves and Jacobian varieties. It is well known that compact Riemann surfaces, projective algebraiccurves and Jacobian varieties are only diierent views to the same object, i.e., these categories are equivalent. We want to be able to put our hands on this equ...
