One-loop structure of higher rank Wilson loops in AdS/CFT

The half-supersymmetric Wilson loop in N=4 SYM is arguably the central non-local operator in the AdS/CFT correspondence. On the field theory side, the vacuum expectation values of Wilson loops in arbitrary representations of SU(N) are captured to all orders in perturbation theory by a Gaussian matri...
