Deformations of the circular Wilson loop and spectral (in)dependence

Abstract In this paper we study the expectation value of deformations of the circular Wilson loop in N = 4 $$ \mathcal{N}=4 $$ super Yang-Mills theory. The leading order deformation, known as the Bremsstrahlung function, can be obtained exactly from supersymmetric localization, so our focus is on de...
