Wilson Lines in Quantum Field Theory / / Igor Olegovich Cherednikov, Tom Mertens, Frederik F. Van der Veken.

Wilson lines (also known as gauge links or eikonal lines) can be introduced in any gauge field theory. Although the concept of the Wilson exponentials finds an enormously wide range of applications in a variety of branches of modern quantum field theory, from condensed matter and lattice simulations...
