Localization of Gauge Theory on a Four-Sphere and Supersymmetric Wilson Loops
Open accessAbstract
We prove conjecture due to Erickson-Semenoff-Zarembo and Drukker-Gross which relates supersymmetric circular Wilson loop operators in the $${\mathcal N=4}$$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with a Gaussian matrix model. We also compute the partition function and give a new matrix model formula for the expectation value of a supersymmetric circular Wilson loop operator for the pure $${\mathcal N=2}$$ and the $${\mathcal N=2^*}$$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on a four-sphere. A four-dimensional $${\mathcal N=2}$$ superconformal gauge theory is treated similarly.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
