In ABJM theory, enriched RG flows between circular 1/6 BPS bosonic and 1/2 BPS fermionic Wilson loops have been introduced in arXiv:2211.16501.

We find that away from the conformal fixed points the ordinary identity is broken by the conformal anomaly in a controlled way. From a defect perspective, the breaking of the correspondence can be traced back to the appearance of an anomalous dimension for fermionic operators localized on the defect.

Abstract

In ABJM theory, enriched RG flows between circular 1/6 BPS bosonic and 1/2 BPS fermionic Wilson loops have been introduced in arXiv:2211.16501. These flows are triggered by deformations corresponding to parametric 1/6 BPS fermionic loops. In this paper we revisit the study of these operators, but instead of circular contours we consider an interpolating cusped line and a latitude and study their RG flow in perturbation theory. This allows for the definition of a Bremsstrahlung function away from fixed points. We generalize to this case the known cusp/latitude correspondence that relates the Bremsstrahlung function to a latitude Wilson loop. We find that away from the conformal fixed points the ordinary identity is broken by the conformal anomaly in a controlled way. From a defect perspective, the breaking of the correspondence can be traced back to the appearance of an anomalous dimension for fermionic operators localized on the defect. As a by-product, we provide a brand new result for the two-loop cusp anomalous dimension of the 1/6 BPS fermionic and the 1/6 BPS bosonic Wilson lines.
