Static Charges in the Low-Energy Theory of the S-Duality Twist    [PDF]

Ori J. Ganor, Yoon Pyo Hong, Ruza Markov, Hai Siong Tan

We continue the study of the low-energy limit of N=4 super Yang-Mills theory
compactified on a circle with S-duality and R-symmetry twists that preserve N=6
supersymmetry in 2+1D. We introduce external static supersymmetric quark and
anti-quark sources into the theory and calculate the Witten Index of the
resulting Hilbert space of ground states on a torus. Using these results we
compute the action of simple Wilson loops on the Hilbert space of ground states
without sources. In some cases we find disagreement between our results for the
Wilson loop eigenvalues and previous conjectures about a connection with
Chern-Simons theory.
