Wilson loops and spherical branes

We study 1/2-BPS Wilson loop operators in maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on d-dimensional spheres. Their vacuum expectation values can be computed at large N through supersymmetric localisation. The holographic duals are given by back-reacted spherical D-branes. For d≠4, the resulting th...
