Ladder exponentiation for generic large symmetric representation Wilson loops
A recent proposal was made for a large representation rank limit for which
the expectation values of N = 4 super Yang-Mills Wilson loops are given by the
exponential of the 1-loop result. We verify the validity of this exponentiation
in the strong coupling limit using the holographic D3-brane description for
straight Wilson loops following an arbitrary internal space trajectory.Comment: 12 pages, 1 figur
On the Price of Anarchy of Highly Congested Nonatomic Network Games
We consider nonatomic network games with one source and one destination. We
examine the asymptotic behavior of the price of anarchy as the inflow
increases. In accordance with some empirical observations, we show that, under
suitable conditions, the price of anarchy is asymptotic to one. We show with
some counterexamples that this is not always the case. The counterexamples
occur in very simple parallel graphs.Comment: 26 pages, 6 figure
