Abstract
We extend Douglas' solution of the problem of finding minimal surfaces to anti-de Sitter space. The case of a circle as a boundary contour is elaborated. We discuss applications to super Yang-Mills: a circular Wilson loop and the Schwinger process, where we calculate the correction to the critical value of constant electric field.
