Abstract
In this paper we compute the vacuum expectation value of the Wilson loop and its correlators with chiral primary operators in mathcal{N} = 2, 4 superconformal U(N ) gauge theories at large N . After localization these quantities can be computed in terms of a deformed U(N ) matrix model. The Wilson loops we deal with are in the fundamental and symmetric representations.

In this paper we compute the vacuum expectation value of the Wilson loop and its correlators with chiral primary operators in N = 2, 4 superconformal U(N ) gauge theories at large N. After localization these quantities can be computed in terms of a deformed U(N ) matrix model
The same type of interacting matrix model arises in the studies of N = 2 theories [5, 10], where the interactions account for higher loop corrections and mass deformations
Summary
We generally follow the notation of [9] and consider deformed N = 4 SYM theory on S4 in terms of N = 2 SYM theory with one vector multiplet and one adjoint hypermultiplet of matter. We choose the contour such that |x | = 1 As it was shown in [9], the vev of a WL in the fundamental representation in this case can be written as a U(N ) matrix model average. The averages in the matrix model are defined as 1 f (a) def = Z d[a]f (a) e−NV (a) = 1 Z da ∆(a) f (a) e−NV (a) , where. With d[a] being the Lebesgue measure in the space of Hermitian N × N matrices, da =. In the following subsections we consider different types of the potential V (a)
