Dressed Wilson Loops on S^2

Abstract

We present a new, two-parameter family of string solutions corresponding to the holographic duals of specific 1/8-BPS Wilson loops on in supersymmetric Yang–Mills theory. The solutions are obtained using the dressing method on the known longitude solution in the context of the auxiliary σ-model on put forth in arXiv:0905.0665 [hep-th]. We verify that the regularized area of the world-sheets are consistent with expectations.
