Description
I will present some new results about supersymmetric Wilson loops in four dimensional
YM. First I will present a large class of operators preserving 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 and 1/16
of the supersymmetries of the vacuum. Then I will show a possible realtion between
some of those loops, following an arbitrary curve on an S^2 subspace of R^4 to Wilson
loops in two dimensional YM. To the extent that we've been able to calculate, there
is a precise agreement, suggesting another connection between certain operators in
N=4 SYM and low dimensional soluable models.
