Large-colour Wilson Loops using Matrix Models

Studying large-colour Wilson loops in Super-Yang-Mills as a test of the AdS/CFT Correspondence.

An internship under Dr Victor Mishnyakov, Stockholm University, as part of the NORDITA Summer Internship Program, 2025.

  • Using Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods for Matrix Model computations, eg Wilson loops in representations \(\mathrm{Sym}^k,\Lambda^k\)
  • Studied how supersymmetric localisation connects Wilson loops in \(\mathcal N=4\) SYM to Matrix Models
  • Using Wilson loops in large-\(N\), large-\(k\) limit as a test of the \(\mathrm{AdS}\)/CFT Correspondence
