An exact prediction of supersymmetric Yang–Mills theory for string theory
We propose that the expectation value of a circular BPS-Wilson loop in N= 4 supersymmetric
Yang–Mills can be calculated exactly, to all orders in a 1/N expansion and to all orders in g 2 …

From weak to strong coupling in ABJM theory
The partition function of N= 6 supersymmetric Chern–Simons-matter theory (known as ABJM
theory) on S^ 3, as well as certain Wilson loop observables, are captured by a zero …

Quantized strings and instantons in holography
A bstract We study worldsheet instantons in holographic type IIA backgrounds directly in
string theory. The first background is a dimensional reduction of AdS 7× S 4 and is dual to …

Scale invariance of the η-deformed AdS5× S5 superstring, T-duality and modified type II equations
We consider the ABF background underlying the η-deformed AdS 5× S 5 sigma model. This
background fails to satisfy the standard IIB supergravity equations which indicates that the …
