Higher order RG flow on the Wilson line in N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 SYM

Abstract Extending earlier work, we find the two-loop term in the beta-function for the scalar coupling ζ in a generalized Wilson loop operator of the N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 SYM theory, working in the planar weak-coupling expansion. The beta-function for ζ has fixed points at ζ = ±1 and ζ = 0, corr...
