Description
Surface operators are nonlocal probes of gauge theories capable of distinguishing phases that are not discernible by the classic Wilson-'t Hooft criterion. I will prove that the correlation function of a surface operator with a chiral primary operator in N=4 super Yang-Mills is a finite polynomial in the Yang-Mills coupling constant. Surprisingly, in spite of these observables receiving nontrivial quantum corrections, we find that these correlation functions are exactly captured in the 't Hooft limit by supergravity in asymptotically AdS5×S5! I will explain how we added this entry to the holographic dictionary. This talk is based on 2406.08541, with Changha Choi and Jaume Gomis.
