abstract

The half-BPS Wilson line operators in the irreducible representations labeled by the Young diagrams for $\mathcal{N}=4$ $U(N)$ super Yang-Mills theory have gravity dual descriptions. When the number $k$ of boxes of the diagram grows as $k\sim N^2$, the bubbling geometries emerge. We evaluate the spectra of quantum fluctuations on the bubbling geometries from the large $N$ and large $k$ limit of the supersymmetric indices decorated by the Wilson lines. The spectra of excitations over multi-particle $1/8$- and $1/2$-BPS states agree with the numbers of conjugacy classes of general linear group over finite fields while degeneracies of single particle BPS states are given by the general necklace polynomial. The bubbling geometry exhibits a new class of asymptotic degeneracy of states.

  1. S-duality of boundary lines in $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM theories and supersymmetric indices

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Boundary Wilson and 't Hooft line two-point functions in N=4 SYM match exactly under S-duality, with closed forms from Macdonald polynomials.

  2. Line operator indices of S-fold theories

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Line-operator Schur indices for S-fold theories are matched to Wilson-'t Hooft indices in rank-2 N=4 SYM once giant graviton corrections are included, with new fivebrane-junction indices derived for k=3,4,6.
