Intersection of world-lines on curved surfaces and path-ordering of the Wilson loop
Abstract We study contact interactions for long world-lines on a curved surface, focusing on the average number of times two world-lines intersect as a function of their end-points. The result can be used to extend the concept of path-ordering, as employed in the Wilson loop, from a closed curve int...
