We compute the circular Wilson loop of N=4 SYM theory at large N in the rank k symmetric and antisymmetric tensor representations. Using a quadratic Hermitian matrix model we obtain expressions for all values of the 't Hooft coupling. At large and small couplings we give explicit formulae and reproduce supergravity results from both D3 and D5 branes within a systematic framework.

    hep-th 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    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.
