Chern-Simons theory from M5-branes and calibrated M2-branes

Abstract We study a sector of the 5d maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on S 5 consisting of 1/8-BPS Wilson loop operators contained within a great S 3 inside S 5. We conjecture that these observables are described by a 3d Chern Simons theory on S 3, analytically continued to a pure imaginar...
