Abstract

We consider the expectation value of Wilson lines in two defect versions of N=4 SYM, both with supersymmetry completely broken, where one is described in terms of an integrable boundary state, the other one not. For both cases, imposing a certain double scaling limit, we find agreement to two leading orders between the expectation values calculated from respectively the field theory- and the string theory side of the AdS/dCFT correspondence.
