Abstract

We study the dual gravity description of supersymmetric Wilson loops whose expectation value is unity. They are described by calibrated surfaces that end on the boundary of anti de-Sitter space and are pseudo-holomorphic with respect to an almost complex structure on an eight-dimensional slice of AdS₅ × S⁵. The regularized area of these surfaces vanishes, in agreement with field theory non-renormalization theorems for the corresponding operators.
