Precision holography for N=2*on S4 from type IIB supergravity

© 2018, The Author(s). We find a new supersymmetric solution of type IIB supergravity which is holographically dual to the planar limit of the four-dimensional N= 2∗supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on S4. We study a probe fundamental string in this background which is dual to a supersymmetric Wilson loop in the N= 2∗theory. Using holography we calculate the expectation value of this line operator to leading order in the ’t Hooft coupling. The result is a non-trivial function of the mass parameter of the N= 2∗theory that precisely matches the result from supersymmetric localization.
