$\mathcal{N}=4$ Super Yang-Mills Flux Tube in AdS
We study a supersymmetric Wilson line on the boundary of $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory in AdS$_4$, or equivalently on a half-space, as a model for exploring the connection between holographic strings and confining flux tubes. The boundary breaks four-dimensional conformal symmetry and is expected to remove in...
