Abstract
We construct the probe D5-brane solution in 𝐴𝑑𝑆5 ×𝑆5 dual to the 1/4-BPS latitude Wilson loop in 𝒩=4 super Yang-Mills theory in the 𝑘-antisymmetric representation of 𝑆𝑈(𝑁). The solution is exact in the latitude parameter 𝜃0 and correctly reproduces the 1/2-BPS limit. We compute the string charge 𝑘 and the renormalized on-shell action perturbatively to order 𝒪(𝜃010) and find full agreement with the expectation value of the Wilson loop predicted by the Gaussian matrix model in the limit 𝑁∼𝑘→∞, 𝜆→∞.
