Higher Rank ABJM Wilson Loops from Matrix Models

Cookmeyer, Tessa, Liu, James T., Zayas, Leopoldo A. Pando

Understand

We compute the vacuum expectation values of $1/6$ supersymmetric Wilson loops in higher dimensional representations of the gauge group in ABJM theory.

  • We present results for the $m$-symmetric and $m$-antisymmetric representations by exploiting standard matrix model techniques.
  • At leading order, in the saddle point approximation, our expressions reproduce holographic results from both D6 and D2 branes corresponding to the antisymmetric and symmetric representations, respectively.
  • We also compute 1/N corrections to the leading saddle point results.
