We study supersymmetric ’t Hooft loop operators in \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$ \mathcal{N}=4 $\end{document} super Yang-Mills, generalizing the well-known circular 1/2 BPS case and investigating their S-duality properties. We derive the BPS condition for a generic line operator describing pointlike monopoles and discuss its solutions in some particular case. In particular, we present the explicit construction of the magnetic counterpart of Zarembo and DGRT Wilson loops and provide the general dyonic configurations for an abelian gauge group. The quantum definition of these supersymmetric ’t Hooft loop operators is carefully discussed and we attempt some computations to next-to-leading order in perturbation theory.
