On the Weyl anomaly of Wilson surfaces

preprint2003arXivOpen access

Abstract

We compute the Weyl anomaly for an abelian Wilson surface by using a regularization that respects the gauge invariance. We then study the loop space on which lives a one-form connection. We restrict ourselves to the subsector consisting of only circular loops, and derive a Maxwell type action on this restricted loop space.
