Quark-antiquark potential in defect conformal field theory

Abstract We consider antiparallel Wilson lines in N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 super Yang-Mills in the presence of a codimension-1 defect. We compute the Wilson lines’ expectation value both at weak coupling, in the gauge theory, and at strong coupling, by finding the string configurations which are dual...
