A defect action for Wilson loops
Abstract An effective action is proposed to compute the expectation value of Wilson loops in (S)U(N) gauge theories. The action consists of fermions localized on the loop and an Abelian gauge field that fixes the representation. The discussion is limited to weak coupling and Wilson loops in the fund...
