چکیده
We study a class of Wilson Loops in N = 4, D = 4 Yang-Mills theory belonging to the chiral ring of a N = 2, d = 1 subalgebra. We show that the expectation value of these loops is independent of their shape. Using properties of the chiral ring, we also show that the expectation value is identically 1. We find the same result for chiral loops in maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in three, five and six dimensions. In seven dimensions, a generalized Konishi anomaly gives an equation for chiral loops which closely resembles the loop equations of the three dimensional Chern-Simons theory.

متن کاملN ov 2 00 6 Exact 1 / 4 BPS Loop - Chiral Primary Correlator
Correlation functions of 1/4 BPS Wilson loops with the infinite family of 1/2 BPS chiral primary operators are computed in N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory by summing planar ladder diagrams. Leading loop corrections to the sum are shown to vanish. The correlation functions are also computed in the strong-coupling limit by examining the supergravity dual of the loop-loop correlator. The strong coup...

متن کاملWilson loops in 2D Yang Mills: Euler Characters and Loop equations
We give a simple diagrammatic algorithm for writing the chiral large N expansion of intersecting Wilson loops in 2D SU(N) and U(N)Yang Mills theory in terms of symmetric groups, generalizing the result of Gross and Taylor for partition functions. We prove that these expansions compute Euler characters of a space of holomorphic maps from string worldsheets with boundaries. We prove that the Migd...
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.
