We show that all half-BPS Wilson loop operators in N=4 SYM -- which are labeled by Young tableaus -- have a gravitational dual description in terms of D5-branes or alternatively in terms of D3-branes in AdS_5xS^5. We prove that the insertion of a half-BPS Wilson loop operator in the cal N=4 SYM path integral is achieved by integrating out the degrees of freedom on a configuration of bulk D5-branes or alternatively on a configuration of bulk D3-branes. The bulk D5-brane and D3-brane descriptions are related by bosonization.

  1. The AdS/$\mathsf{C}$-$\mathsf{P}$-${\mathsf T}$ Correspondence

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    N=4 super Yang-Mills has P and T symmetries that mix with CP and CT under S-duality, and these map to specific worldsheet and geometric symmetries of Type IIB string theory.

  2. New Exotic Operators in the Spectrum of Wilson Lines in General Representations

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    New exotic operators appear on Wilson lines in general representations; their dimension-one superprimaries produce marginally relevant deformations of half-BPS defects in N=4 SYM, supported by a general weak-coupling ...

  3. Bouncing singularities and thermal correlators on line defects

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Retarded correlators of displacement operators on line defects in holographic thermal CFTs exhibit bouncing singularities that match between interior-sensitive WKB and boundary-only OPE analyses.

  4. Bubbling wormholes and matrix models

    hep-th 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Sums over representations of half-BPS Wilson loops in SYM matrix models are dual to bubbling wormhole geometries of multi-covered AdS5 x S5 with intersecting S4 boundaries.

  5. Non-Abelian Symmetry Operators from Hanging Branes in $AdS_5 \times S^5$

    hep-th 2025-10 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In AdS5×S5, non-Abelian SO(6) symmetry operators are realized by hanging D5-brane–KK-monopole bound states, matching the Gauss-law operators from the low-energy supergravity action.

  6. Continuous symmetries and charge measurement of boundary operators in holography

    hep-th 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Continuous symmetry operators in holography are U-shaped hanging brane bound states (D5-KK in Type IIB, M5-KK in M-theory) whose worldvolume couplings reproduce the Gauss-law symmetry operators and measure charges of ...

  7. More on 5d Wilson Loops in Higher-Rank Theories and Blowup Equations

    hep-th 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For 5d N=1 pure gauge theories, Wilson-loop blowup equations can be fixed using one-form symmetry and low-instanton data, and one-instanton free energies admit a universal v=sqrt(q1q2) expansion resembling Hilbert series.

  8. Oscillons in AdS space

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Simulations show long-lived oscillons in anti-de Sitter space, with recurrence of decayed waves and a transition to a persistent oscillatory state as the AdS radius shrinks.
