Abstract |
The partition function of a four dimensional N=2 Super Yang-Mills theory can be mapped to a
matrix model on a sphere using supersymmetric localization. We write it in a superconformal
case, in particular playing with the matter content in different representation of the SU(N)
gauge group, one obtains various conformal theories with interesting properties. In this set-up
we compute the vacuum expectation value a 1/2 BPS Maldacena-Wilson loop and we mention
possible holographic consequences of this achievement. Finally, we check our result against a
perturbative computation up to a four-loops order, introducing new techniques to deal with
superspace variables. |
