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...

1. Introduction. Illustrated manuscripts may be analysed in terms of both their texts and their illustrations. While statistical techniques have long been applied to the textual analysis of manuscripts, e.g., Lebart and Salem (1994), no corresponding pictorial analysis can be found in the art history literature. The purpose of this paper is to suggest that the field can benefit from statistical...
