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.

Derives and analyzes a Lindbladian for holographic Brownian motion in BTZ and AdS5 black brane backgrounds from the influence functional.
New exotic operators appear on Wilson lines in general representations; their dimension-one superprimaries produce marginally relevant deformations of half-BPS defects in N=4 SYM, supported by a general weak-coupling four-point function.
Retarded correlators of bulk scalars and Wilson-line displacement operators exhibit bouncing singularities at t_c=β/2(1+i) with matching WKB and asymptotic OPE data, implying a universal high-frequency factorization.
A continuous one-parameter family of holographic geometries interpolates between confining and deconfined phases, with string tension and chiral condensate vanishing smoothly at the black hole endpoint.
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.
The paper derives factorization of fixed-spin conformal moments of unpolarized gluon GTMDs into a universal staple-worldsheet soft factor and a target-dependent Witten amplitude, with UV/IR reductions and Reggeization via the holographic Pomeron.
Establishes a one-to-one correspondence between states and p-dimensional defects in higher-form Maxwell theories via an extended Kac-Moody algebra generated by conserved charges from mixed anomalies, mapping dressed Wilson-'t Hooft defects to squeezed energy eigenstates.
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.
Exact and perturbative drag forces are derived for heavy quarks in holographic plasmas dual to charged rotating 5D black holes, with regularity conditions fixing integration constants and yielding finite anisotropic corrections.
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.
In a toy qubit model of quarks, baryons are fortuitous with exponential counting and super-exponential complexity while mesons are monotone with polynomial counting and power-law complexity.
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.
Holographic consistency checks confirm confinement (area law), domain-wall dynamics matching YM-CS theory, and absence of stable axionic strings in a D3/O7-conifold gauge/gravity dual.
