Circular Wilson loops in defect N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 SYM: phase transitions, double-scaling limits and OPE expansions
Abstract We consider circular Wilson loops in a defect version of N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 super-Yang- Mills theory which is dual to the D3-D5 brane system with k units of flux. When the loops are parallel to the defect, we can construct both BPS and non-BPS operators, depending on the orientation of...
