abstract
We propose a method to calculate the expectation values of an operator similar to the Wilson loop in the large N limit of field theories. We consider N=4 3+1 dimensional super-Yang-Mills. The prescription involves calculating the area of a fundamental string worldsheet in certain supergravity backgrounds. We also consider the case of coincident M-theory fivebranes where one is lead to calculating the area of M-theory two-branes. We briefly discuss the computation for 2+1 dimensional super-Yang-Mills with sixteen supercharges which is non-conformal. In all these cases we calculate the energy of quark-antiquark pair.

Sums over representations of half-BPS Wilson loops in SYM matrix models are dual to bubbling wormhole geometries of multi-covered AdS5 x S5 with intersecting S4 boundaries.
Retarded correlators of displacement operators on line defects in holographic thermal CFTs exhibit bouncing singularities that match between interior-sensitive WKB and boundary-only OPE analyses.
At criticality in the adjoint sector of matrix quantum mechanics, the spectrum exhibits Regge trajectories Δ² ~ n/α' interpreted as oscillatory excitations of short folded open strings in the dual 2D string theory.
Constructs holographic supergravity solutions for supersymmetric RG flows from 4D SCFTs to confining 3D SQFTs, with universal factorization of observables.
Holographic checks confirm area-law confinement, anomaly-matching domain walls via 2+1D TQFT, and unstable axionic strings implying no massless axions in this finite duality cascade model.
Neural networks reconstruct both spatial and timelike bulk metric components from strip entanglement entropy and Wilson loops with sub-0.2% accuracy in holographic models such as AdS-Schwarzschild and Gubser-Rocha.
Holographic probe-brane calculations produce defect one- and two-point functions of heavy scalars that match OPE and BOE limits.
Holographic minimal-surface calculation maps the Gross-Ooguri phase transition for circular Wilson loops on the Coulomb branch and indicates tree-level exactness for the straight line.
A tachyonic AdS/QCD construction deforms the bulk geometry with a tachyon-dependent dielectric function to produce a unified running coupling from perturbative UV to nonperturbative IR regimes.
