Wilson Loops and Minimal Surfaces
The AdS/CFT correspondence suggests that the Wilson loop of the large N gauge theory with N = 4 supersymmetry in 4 dimensions is described by a minimal surface in AdS5 × S5. We examine various aspects of this proposal, comparing gauge theory expectations with computations of minimal surfaces. There is a distinguished class of loops, which we call BPS loops, whose expectation values are free fro...
متن کاملCalibrated Surfaces and Supersymmetric Wilson Loops
We study the dual gravity description of supersymmetric Wilson loops whose expectation value is unity. They are described by calibrated surfaces that end on the boundary of anti de-Sitter space and are pseudo-holomorphic with respect to an almost complex structure on an eight-dimensional slice of AdS5 × S. The regularized area of these surfaces vanishes, in agreement with field theory non-renor...
متن کاملA Linear Equation for Wilson Loops
The Makeenko-Migdal loop equation is non-linear and first order in the area derivative, but we show that for simple loops in QCD2 it is possible to reformulate this equation as a linear equation with second order derivatives. This equation is a bound state Schrödinger equation with a three dimensional Coulomb potential. Thus, loop dynamics leads to a surprising new picture of confinement, where...
متن کامل9 Null polygonal Wilson loops and minimal surfaces in Anti - de - Sitter space
We consider minimal surfaces in three dimensional anti-de-Sitter space that end at the AdS boundary on a polygon given by a sequence of null segments. The problem can be reduced to a certain generalized Sinh-Gordon equation and to SU(2) Hitchin equations. We describe in detail the mathematical problem that needs to be solved. This problem is mathematically the same as the one studied by Gaiotto...
متن کاملString calculation of QCD Wilson loops on arbitrary surfaces.
Compact string expressions are found for non-intersecting Wilson loops in SU(N) Yang-Mills theory on any surface (orientable or nonorientable) as a weighted sum over covers of the surface. All terms from the coupled chiral sectors of the 1/N expansion of the Wilson loop expectation values are included. November 1994 Supported in part by DOE grant DE-FG02-92ER40706 The recent interpretation of S...
