The path integral of a general N=2 supersymmetric gauge theory on S^4 is exactly evaluated in the presence of a supersymmetric 't Hooft loop operator. The result we find - obtained using localization techniques - captures all perturbative quantum corrections as well as non-perturbative effects due to instantons and monopoles, which are supported at the north pole, south pole and equator of S^4. As a by-product, our gauge theory calculations successfully confirm the predictions made for 't Hooft loops obtained from the calculation of topological defect correlators in Liouville/Toda conformal field theory.

    hep-th 2025-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Quantized Coulomb branch of 4d N=2 Sp(N) theory with given matter content matches spherical DAHA of (C_N^vee, C_N) type, proven for N=1 and conjectured for higher N with 't Hooft loop evidence.

  2. 't Hooft loops in N=4 super-Yang-Mills

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A new perturbative framework for 't Hooft lines reproduces localization results for chiral primaries and yields a resummed Wilson-'t Hooft potential that matches holography.

  3. Line operator indices of S-fold theories

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Line-operator Schur indices for S-fold theories are matched to Wilson-'t Hooft indices in rank-2 N=4 SYM once giant graviton corrections are included, with new fivebrane-junction indices derived for k=3,4,6.
