Wilson Surface One-Point Functions: A Case Study
We compute holographic one-point functions for Wilson surfaces in the case of a toroidal surface operator. Compared to the cases of a planar or spherical surface operator, these one-point functions exhibit a more intricate dependence on the shape and position of both the surface and the local operators. Averaging over the moduli space of membranes dual to the surface operator plays a key role in the computations. We obtain both analytical and numerical results. The case of a cylindrical surface operator is also studied.
