Symmetric Wilson Loops beyond leading order
We study the circular Wilson loop in the symmetric representation of U(N) in $\mathcal{N} = 4$ super-Yang-Mills (SYM). In the large N limit, we computed the exponentially-suppressed corrections for strong coupling, which suggests non-perturbative physics in the dual holographic theory. We also co...

| Summary: | We study the circular Wilson loop in the symmetric representation of U(N) in
$\mathcal{N} = 4$ super-Yang-Mills (SYM). In the large N limit, we computed the
exponentially-suppressed corrections for strong coupling, which suggests
non-perturbative physics in the dual holographic theory. We also computed the
next-to-leading order term in 1/N, and the result matches with the exact result
from the k-fundamental representation. |
