Precision matching of circular Wilson loops and strings in AdS 5 × S 5

Abstract Previous attempts to match the exact N=4 $$ \mathcal{N}=4 $$ super Yang-Mills expression for the expectation value of the 12 $$ \frac{1}{2} $$-BPS circular Wilson loop with the semiclassical AdS 5 × S 5 string theory prediction were not successful at the first subleading order. There was a...
