Wilson surfaces in M5-branes

Abstract We study Wilson surface defects in 6d N=20 $$ \mathcal{N}=\left(2,0\right) $$ superconformal field theories, engineered by semi-infinite M2-branes intersecting M5-branes. Two independent approaches are used to obtain the Wilson surface observables on the T 2 inside Ω-deformed R 4 × T 2. One...
