Abstract: (Elsevier)
We present a new, two-parameter family of string solutions corresponding to the holographic duals of specific 1/8-BPS Wilson loops on S2 in N=4 supersymmetric Yang–Mills theory. The solutions are obtained using the dressing method on the known longitude solution in the context of the auxiliary σ -model on S3 put forth in arXiv:0905.0665 [hep-th] . We verify that the regularized area of the world-sheets are consistent with expectations.
