Supersymmetric Wilson loops via integral forms

Blog Article

Abstract We study supersymmetric Wilson loops from a geometrical perspective.To this end, we propose a new formulation of these operators in terms of an integral sheepshead bay boats form associated to the immersion of the loop into a supermanifold.This approach provides a unifying description of Wilson loops preserving different sets of supercharges, and clarifies the flow between them.Moreover, it allows to exploit the powerful techniques click here of super- differential calculus for investigating their symmetries.As remarkable examples, we discuss supersymmetry and kappa-symmetry invariance.
