A proof of the correlation function/supersymmetric Wilson loop correspondence
Abstract
We prove that in the limit when its insertion points become pairwise null-separated, the ratio of certain n-point correlation functions in mathcal{N} = 4 SYM is equal to a supersymmetric Wilson loop on twistor space, acting in the adjoint representation. In the planar limit, each of these objects reduces to the square of the complete n-particle planar superamplitude. Our proof is at the level of the integrand.
