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

Abstract
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.
