Phase transition of anti-symmetric Wilson loops in N=4 $$ \mathcal{N}=4 $$ SYM

Abstract We will argue that the 1/2 BPS Wilson loops in the anti-symmetric representations in the N=4 $$ \mathcal{N}=4 $$ super Yang-Mills (SYM) theory exhibit a phase transition at some critical value of the ’t Hooft coupling of order N 2. In the matrix model computation of Wilson loop expectation...
