String theory duals of Wilson loops from Higgsing

Abstract For three-dimensional ABJ(M) theories and N = 4 $$ \mathcal{N}=4 $$ Chern-Simons-matter quiver theories, we construct two sets of 1/2 BPS Wilson loop operators by applying the Higgsing procedure along independent directions of the moduli space, and choosing different massive modes. For theo...
