Non-Abelian Giant Gravitons

چکیده
We argue that the giant graviton configurations known from the literature have a complementary, microscopical description in terms of multiple gravitational waves undergoing a dielectric (or magnetic moment) effect. We present a non-Abelian effective action for these gravitational waves with dielectric couplings and show that stable dielectric solutions exist. These solutions agree in the large N limit with the giant graviton configurations in the literature.

A Microscopical Description of Giant Gravitons
We construct a non-Abelian world volume effective action for a system of multiple M-theory gravitons. This action contains multipole moment couplings to the eleven-dimensional background potentials. We use these couplings to study, from the microscopical point of view, giant graviton configurations where the gravitons expand into an M2-brane, with the topology of a fuzzy 2-sphere, that lives in...
متن کاملGiant gravitons in non-supersymmetric backgrounds
We consider giant gravitons as probes of a class of ten-dimensional solutions of type IIB supergravity which arise as lifts of solutions of U(1)3 gauged N = 2 supergravity in five-dimensions. Surprisingly it is possible to solve exactly for minimum energy configurations of these spherical D3-brane probes in the compact directions, even in backgrounds which preserve no supersymmetry. The branes ...
متن کاملM-Theory Brane as Giant Graviton and the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect
A small number of M-theory branes as giant gravitons in the M-theory sector of LLM geometry is studied as a probe. The abelian way shows that the low energy effective action for M-theory brane is exactly the 2d electron subject to a vertical magnetic field. We also briefly discuss the microscopic description of M2-brane giant graviton in this geometry, in the language of a combination of D0-bra...
متن کاملVibration modes of giant gravitons
We examine the spectrum of small vibrations of giant gravitons, when the gravitons expand in the anti-de-Sitter space and when they expand on the sphere. For any given angular harmonic, the modes are found to have frequencies related to the curvature length scale of the background; these frequencies are independent of radius (and hence angular momentum) of the brane itself. This implies that th...
متن کاملGiant Gravitons and a Correspondence Principle
We propose a correspondence between the physics of certain small charge black holes in AdSk × Sl and large charge black holes in AdSl × Sk. The curvature singularities of these solutions arise, following Myers and Tafjord, from a condensate of giant gravitons. When the number of condensed giants Ng is much greater than the number of background branes N , we propose that the system has an equiva...
