Supersymmetric Wilson loops in N = 4 $$ \mathcal{N}=4 $$ super Chern-Simons-matter theory

Wilson loops in 3 - dimensional N = 6 supersymmetric Chern - Simons Theory and their string theory duals

We study Wilson loops in the three-dimensional N = 6 supersymmetric Chern-Simons theory recently constructed by Aharony, Bergman, Jafferis and Maldacena, that is conjectured to be dual to type IIA string theory on AdS4×CP. We construct loop operators in the Chern-Simons theory which preserve 1/6 of the supercharges and calculate their expectation value up to 2-loop order at weak coupling. The e...

Localization for Wilson Loops in Chern-Simons Theory

N = 2 Superstring Theory Generates Supersymmetric Chern-simons Theories

We show that the action of self-dual supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in four-dimensions, which describes the consistent massless background fields for N = 2 superstring, generates the actions for N = 1 and N = 2 supersymmetric non-Abelian Chern-Simons theories in three-dimensions after appropriate dimensional reductions. Since the latters play important roles for supersymmetric integrable mode...

Superconformal Chern - Simons - Matter Theory

We introduce an anti-symmetric metric into a 3-algebra and call it a symplectic 3-algebra. The N = 6, Sp(2N) × U(1) superconformal Chern-Simons-matter theory with SU(4) R-symmetry in three dimensions is constructed by specifying the 3-brackets in a symplectic 3-algebra.

2 00 1 Wilson Loops in N = 4 Supersymmetric Yang - Mills Theory from Random Matrix Theory

Based on the AdS/CFT correspondence, string theory has given exact predictions for circular Wilson loops in U (N) N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory to all orders in a 1/N expansion. These Wilson loops can also be derived from Random Matrix Theory. In this paper we show that the result is generically insensitive to details of the Random Matrix Theory potential. We also compute all higher k-...
