Minimal area surfaces in AdS n+1 and Wilson loops

Abstract The AdS/CFT correspondence relates the expectation value of Wilson loops in N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 SYM to the area of minimal surfaces in AdS 5. In this paper we consider minimal area surfaces in generic Euclidean AdS n+1 using the Pohlmeyer reduction in a similar way as we did previously...
