This is a compact review of recent results on supersymmetric Wilson loops in ABJ (M) and
related theories. It aims to be a quick introduction to the state of the art in the field and a …

Interpolating Wilson loops and enriched RG flows

L Castiglioni, S Penati, M Tenser… - Journal of High Energy …, 2023 - Springer
A bstract We study new 1/24 BPS circular Wilson loops in ABJ (M) theory, which are defined
in terms of several parameters that continuously interpolate between previously known 1/6 …

Classifying superconformal defects in diverse dimensions part I: superconformal lines

NB Agmon, Y Wang - arxiv preprint arxiv:2009.06650, 2020 - arxiv.org
We initiate the classification of unitary superconformal defects in unitary superconformal field
theories (SCFT) of diverse spacetime dimensions $3\leq d\leq 6$. Our method explores …

1/3 BPS loops and defect CFTs in ABJM theory

N Drukker, Z Kong - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract We address a longstanding question of whether ABJM theory has Wilson loop
operators preserving eight supercharges (so 1/3 BPS). We present such Wilson loops made …

Vertex operator algebras and topologically twisted Chern-Simons-matter theories

N Garner - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract We consider several topologically twisted Chern-Simons-matter theories and
propose boundary VOAs whose module categories should model the category of line …

Wilson loops and defect RG flows in ABJM

L Castiglioni, S Penati, M Tenser… - Journal of High Energy …, 2023 - Springer
A bstract We continue our study of renormalization group (RG) flows on Wilson loop defects
in ABJM theory, which we have initiated in arxiv: 2211.16501. We generalize that analysis …

BPS Wilson loops and quiver varieties

N Drukker - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
Three dimensional supersymmetric field theories have large moduli spaces of circular
Wilson loops preserving a fixed set of supercharges. We simplify previous constructions of …
