abstract

It has been known for some time that the AdS/CFT correspondence predicts a limit on the number of single particle states propagating on the compact spherical component of the AdS-times-sphere geometry. The limit is called the stringy exclusion principle. The physical origin of this effect has been obscure but it is usually thought of as a feature of very small distance physics. In this paper we will show that the stringy exclusion principle is due to a surprising large distance phenomenon. The massless single particle states become progressively less and less point-like as their angular momentum increases. In fact they blow up into spherical branes of increasing size. The exclusion principle is simply understood as the condition that the particle should not be bigger than the sphere that contains it.

Bootstrapping Giant Graviton Correlators

hep-th · 2026-05-14 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0 · 2 refs

Bootstrap using labelled f-graphs, double-triangle and triangle rules, integrated correlators, and 10D hidden symmetry uniquely fixes three-loop mixed GGOO correlators in N=4 SYM, reproducing known two-loop results and yielding new three-loop terms for the maximal determinant operator.

Moduli Spaces in CFT: Large Charge Operators

hep-th · 2024-06-27 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

CFTs with broken continuous global symmetry on the moduli space require a tower of charged local operators whose scaling dimensions are asymptotically linear in the charge.

(Un)solvable Matrix Models for BPS Correlators

hep-th · 2025-08-27 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Proposes complex matrix models for BPS correlators in N=4 SYM, relating eigenvalue distributions to LLM droplet shapes and enabling computations of one-point functions and three-point correlators via reductions to known models.

Open-Closed-Open Triality Beyond Matrix Models

hep-th · 2026-05-04 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Two open-string descriptions of branes on the resolved conifold are equivalent; integrating out one stack yields an effective potential that reproduces the backreaction and matches giant-graviton actions on the deformed conifold.

On the Universality of Probe Complexity in $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM

hep-th · 2026-06-19 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Protected and few-body sectors in N=4 SYM exhibit integrable Krylov dynamics with a_n=2Mg and b_n→Mg, insufficient for testing gravitational universality of complexity growth; a finite-density program is proposed to test dependence only on coarse thermodynamic data.

Holographic two-point functions of heavy operators revisited

hep-th · 2026-03-30 · conditional · novelty 4.0

Holographic two-point functions of heavy operators are reproduced by adding boundary terms to the D3-brane action and by the Gibbons-Hawking-York term in LLM backgrounds, but only in coordinate dependence and without normalization.
