A giant graviton genealogy

In this article we extend the construction of giant gravitons from holomorphic surfaces [1] to the ABJM correspondence. We construct a new class of 1 6 -BPS M5-branes wrapping 5-manifolds in S/Zk and supported by a large angular momentum in the orbifold space. These orbifold giant gravitons undergo a supersymmetry enhancement to 1 3 -BPS and 1 2 -BPS configurations in special cases. The compact...

We thank the editor Professor David Steinberg for organizing this stimulating discussion. We are also grateful to all the discussants for their constructive comments about the method proposed in our paper (denoted as QZW hereafter). Profile monitoring is a relatively new research area; but, it has a profound application background (cf., Wang and Tsung 2005, Woodall et al. 2004). Due to the fact...

Regarding Jennifer’s criticism of the “independence” assumption in expression (2) of the paper, we agree that this is surely not true though it may be roughly true. However, the “correlation” calculation in (2) is a bit more complicated than it initially appears in that the calculation is with respect to a uniform distribution over say, the locations in unit i. In fact, the randomness arises fr...
