Description

Looking at observables on the Wilson line, we notice an enriched space of operators in contrast to the usual gauge invariant bulk operators built from traces. Focusing on N=4 SYM, where we can restrict our studies to the topological sector of a half-BPS Wilson line as to have just one adjoint valued scalar field to build operators with, we find a graded non-commutative non-freely generated ring structure. Even though the explicit construction is limited in its scope by computational constraints, it allows us to gather information that hints at universal properties of these observables.
