Giant Gravitons from Holomorphic Surfaces
نویسنده
چکیده
We introduce a class of supersymmetric cycles in spacetimes of the form AdS times a sphere or T 1,1 which can be considered as generalizations of the giant gravitons. Branes wrapped on these cycles preserve 12 , 1 4 or 1 8 of the supersymmetry. On the CFT side these configurations correspond to superpositions of the large number of BPS states.

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...
متن کاملD 1 and D 5 - brane giant gravitons on AdS
We construct various examples of 14 -BPS giant gravitons embedded into the type IIB supergravity background AdS3 × S3 + × S3 − × S1 with pure R-R flux: two D1brane giants wrapping 1-cycles in AdS3 and S 3 + × S3 −, and one D5-brane giant wrapping a 4-cycle in S3 + × S3 − and the S1. These D-branes are supported by angular momenta αP on one 3-sphere and (1 − α)P on the other. We then construct a...

We construct various examples of 14 -BPS giant gravitons embedded into the type IIB supergravity background AdS3×S +×S −×S with pure R-R flux: two D1-brane giants wrapping 1-cycles in AdS3 and S 3 +×S −, and one D5-brane giant wrapping a 4-cycle in S3 + × S3 − and the S1. These D-branes are supported by angular momenta αP on one 3-sphere and (1−α)P on the other. We then construct a general clas...
متن کاملType IIB Killing spinors and calibrations
In this paper we derive the full set of differential equations and some algebraic relations for p-forms constructed from type IIB Killing spinors. These equations are valid for the most general type IIB supersymmetric backgrounds which have a non-zero NS-NS 3-form field strength, H , and non-zero R-R field strengths, G, G and G. Our motivation is to use these equations to obtain generalised cal...
متن کاملLessons from giant gravitons on AdS 5 × T 1 , 1
We implement Mikhailov’s holomorphic curve construction to explore various properties of giant gravitons in type IIB string theory on AdS5 × T . By coloring the D-brane worldvolume, we are able to show how, in the string theory, the giant graviton factorizes at its maximal size into two dibaryons topologically stable D-branes wrapping non-contractible cycles in the T . This is related to the st...
