Description
I discuss a thermal bootstrap setup for the Maldacena-Polyakov loop in the planar limit of N=4 Super Yang-Mills theory. In this limit, the spectrum of low-lying operators is accessible via integrability, specifically through the Quantum Spectral Curve. Our primary observables are two-point functions of operators inserted on the loop, which in this context is a thermal circle. Following recent advances in thermal bootstrap, we extract thermal structure constants for the first low-lying operators by combining the integrability-based spectrum with thermal bootstrap constraints.
