J. High Energy Phys. 2011, No. 9, Paper No. 102, 30 p. (2011); erratum ibid. 2011, No. 10, Paper No. 065, 3 p. (2011).
Summary: We compute the expectation value of the circular Wilson loop in \( \mathcal{N} = 2 \) supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with \(N_{f} = 2N\) hypermultiplets. Our results indicate that the string tension in the dual string theory scales as the logarithm of the ’t Hooft coupling.
