abstract

We study giant graviton expansions of the superconformal index of 4d orbifold/orientifold theories. In general, a giant graviton expansion is given as a multiple sum over wrapping numbers. It has been known that the expansion can be reduced to a simple sum for the ${\cal N}=4$ $U(N)$ SYM by choosing appropriate expansion variables. We find such a reduction occurs for a few examples of orbifold and orientifold theories: $\mathbb{Z}_k$ orbifold and orientifolds with $O3$ and $O7$. We also argue that for a quiver gauge theory associated with a toric Calabi-Yau $3$-fold the simple-sum expansion works only if the toric diagram is a triangle, that is, the Calabi-Yau is an orbifold of $\mathbb{C}^3$.

    The 1/2-BPS giant graviton expansions for U(N), SO(2k+1), Sp(k), and SO(2k) N=4 SYM are derived from supersymmetric localization of D3-branes in AdS5, with the analytic continuation explained as wall-crossing in a Lan...

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Line-operator Schur indices for S-fold theories are matched to Wilson-'t Hooft indices in rank-2 N=4 SYM once giant graviton corrections are included, with new fivebrane-junction indices derived for k=3,4,6.

  3. Quiver superconformal index and giant gravitons: asymptotics and expansions

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For toric quiver theories, coefficients of the large-N superconformal index grow like exp(constant*sqrt(n)) times n^((m-5)/4) for the A-hat_m family, with polynomial growth for dP3 and Y^{p,0}.
