Wilson Loops as Matrix Strings

TL;DR

This paper demonstrates how Wilson loops within Matrix theory can be used as gauge theory observables to define string scattering amplitudes, linking gauge theory and string interactions.

Contribution

It introduces a novel approach where Wilson loops act as interpolating fields for string scattering in the context of Matrix theory.

Findings

Wilson loops can define string scattering amplitudes

Gauge theory observables relate to string interactions

Matrix theory provides a framework for this correspondence

Abstract

In the framework of Matrix theory we show that Wilson loops can serve as interpolating fields to define string scattering amplitudes as gauge theory observables.
