The quantum 1/2 BPS Wilson loop in N= 4 Chern-Simons-matter theories

In three dimensional N= 4 Chern-Simons-matter theories two independent fermionic Wilson loop operators can be defined, which preserve half of the supersymmetry charges and are cohomologically equivalent at classical level. We compute their three-loop expectation value in a convenient color sector an...
