In these lectures, I give a pedagogical presentation of some of the recent progress in
supersymmetric Chern–Simons-matter theories, coming from the use of localization and …

This is a compact review of recent results on supersymmetric Wilson loops in ABJ (M) and
related theories. It aims to be a quick introduction to the state of the art in the field and a …

We use localization techniques to compute the expectation values of supersymmetric Wilson
loops in Chern-Simons theories with matter. We find the path-integral reduces to a non …

A bstract We expand the results of arXiv: 1105.5165, where a holographic description of a
conformal field theory defined on a manifold with boundaries (so called BCFT) was …

The partition function of N= 6 supersymmetric Chern–Simons-matter theory (known as ABJM
theory) on S^ 3, as well as certain Wilson loop observables, are captured by a zero …

A bstract We consider a spherical region with a heavy quark in the middle. We compute the
extra entanglement entropy due to the presence of a heavy quark both in\(\mathcal {N}\)= 4 …

Abstract Recently, Kapustin, Willett and Yaakov have found, by using localization
techniques, that vacuum expectation values of Wilson loops in ABJM theory can be …

We construct the Wilson loop operator of\(\mathcal {N}\)= 6 super Chern-Simons-matter
which is invariant under half of the supercharges of the theory and is dual to the simplest …

A bstract We study new 1/24 BPS circular Wilson loops in ABJ (M) theory, which are defined
in terms of several parameters that continuously interpolate between previously known 1/6 …

We initiate the classification of unitary superconformal defects in unitary superconformal field
theories (SCFT) of diverse spacetime dimensions $3\leq d\leq 6$. Our method explores …
