Introduction Introduction Wilson loops (WL) are an important class of gauge invariant non-local operators in QCD (BFKL). Wilson loops and amplitudes in N = 4 SYM. In N = 4 SYM the half BPS circular WL is captured by a Gaussian Matrix Model (Drukker, Gross; Erickson, Semenoff, Zarembo; Pestun). Summing ladders and other diagrammatic intuition.

Conclusions Comments We get a nice picture for F1 and D3 in terms of OSp(4 4) representations. The D5 seems to be consistent with this. Finding the 1-loop correction to the WL expectation value amounts to computing functional determinants. Similar calculation for the D5. Study other less symmetric WL. The cusp anomalous dimension in the fundamental from spinning string(tseytlin, Roiban, Tirziu). Anti-symmetric representation of the cusp anomalous dimension [classical solution is known] (Armoni).
