A giant graviton genealogy

چکیده
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 compactification of M-theory on AdS4×S/Zk to type IIA superstring theory on AdS4×CP then gives rise to another new class of 1 6 -BPS D4 and NS5-branes wrapping 4 and 5-manifolds in CP. The D4-branes carry a combination of D0-brane charge and angular momentum in the complex projective space, while the NS5-branes are supported only by D0-brane charge. Finally, we present a detailed analysis of a one-parameter family of 1 2 -BPS M5-brane orbifold giant gravitons, and their D4 and NS5-brane CP descendants.

Thermal Instability of Giant Graviton in Matrix Model on PP-wave Background
The thermal instability of the giant graviton is investigated within the BMN matrix model. We calculate the one-loop thermal correction of the quantum fluctuation around the trivial vacuum and giant graviton respectively. From the exact formula of the free energy we see that at low temperature the giant graviton is unstable and will dissolve into vacuum fluctuation. However, at sufficient high ...
متن کاملElectric/Magnetic Field Deformed Giant Gravitons in Melvin Geometry
The rotating D3-brane in the AdS5×S spacetime could be blowed up to the spherical BPS configuration which has the same energy and quantum number of the point-like graviton and is called as a giant graviton. The configuration is stable only if its angular momentum was less then a critical value of Pc. In this paper we investigate the properties of the giant graviton in the electric/magnetic Melv...
متن کاملGiant Graviton in type IIA PP-wave Background
We examine giant graviton with magnetic flux q in type IIA pp-wave background and find that it can move away from the origin along x4 direction in target space satisfying a nontrivial relation Rx4 = −q. This constraint is also investigated in a system of N D0-branes and it is observed that x4 enters into fuzzy algebra as a fuzzy parameter. The nontrivial relation can be regarded as a complement...
متن کاملThermal Giant Graviton with Non-commutative Dipole Field
Using the type II near-extremal 3D-branes solution we apply the T-duality and smeared twist to construct the supergravity backgrounds which dual to the 4D finite temperature non-commutative dipole field theories. We first consider the zero-temperature system in which, depending on the property of dipole vectors it may be N=2, N=1 or N=0 theory. We investigate the rotating D3-brane configuration...
متن کاملA Note on Thermodynamics and Holography of Moving Giant Gravitons
In our previous work (Phys. Rev. D63, 085010, hep-th/0011290), we showed that the brane universe on the giant graviton moving in the near-horizon background of the dilatonic D(6 − p)-brane is described by the mirage cosmology. We study thermodynamic properties of the moving giant graviton by applying thermodynamics of cosmology and the recently proposed holographic principles of cosmology. We f...
