Non-supersymmetric Wilson loop in N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 SYM and defect 1d CFT

Abstract Following Polchinski and Sully ( arXiv:1104.5077 ), we consider a generalized Wilson loop operator containing a constant parameter ζ in front of the scalar coupling term, so that ζ = 0 corresponds to the standard Wilson loop, while ζ = 1 to the locally supersymmetric one. We compute the exp...
