We investigate the `giant gravitons' of McGreevy, Susskind and Toumbas [hep-th/0003075]. We demonstrate that these are BPS configurations which preserve precisely the same supersymmetries as a `point-like' graviton. We also show that there exist `dual' giant gravitons consisting of spherical branes expanding into the AdS component of the spacetime. Finally, we discuss the realization of the stringy exclusion principle within this expanded framework.

  1. Equal-charge projection of the $\mathcal{N}=4$ index: exact large-$N$ formula and finite-rank $U(3)$ coefficients

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    Equal-charge projection of the N=4 index admits an exact large-N factorization into a pentagonal prefactor times the cube of the partition function, and finite-rank U(3) coefficients populate the resulting zero interv...

  2. Holographic two-point functions of heavy operators revisited

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    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 ...

  3. Non-Abelian Symmetry Operators from Hanging Branes in $AdS_5 \times S^5$

    hep-th 2025-10 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In AdS5×S5, non-Abelian SO(6) symmetry operators are realized by hanging D5-brane–KK-monopole bound states, matching the Gauss-law operators from the low-energy supergravity action.

  4. Localization and wall-crossing of giant graviton expansions in AdS$_5$

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    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...

  5. Bulk thimbles dual to trace relations

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The maximal giant's unstable-saddle thimble contributes exactly the negative terms in the half-BPS partition function, identifying those terms as bulk duals of trace relations.

  6. Charged Rotating Hairy Black Holes in AdS$_5 \times S^5$: Unveiling their Secrets

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The BPS limit of the newly constructed hairy black holes has zero entropy and a diverging scalar field, so no regular supersymmetric hairy black holes exist in this sector.

  7. Absorption of closed strings by giant gravitons

    hep-th 2019-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The projector reinterpretation of the Jiang-Komatsu-Vescovi effective theory shows that integrability selection rules hold for maximal and near-maximal giants, but fail for sub-maximal giants and dual giants.

  8. Continuous symmetries and charge measurement of boundary operators in holography

    hep-th 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Continuous symmetry operators in holography are U-shaped hanging brane bound states (D5-KK in Type IIB, M5-KK in M-theory) whose worldvolume couplings reproduce the Gauss-law symmetry operators and measure charges of ...

  9. New phases in QCD at finite temperature and chemical potential

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the Veneziano large-N_c limit, QCD at finite baryon chemical potential has two partially deconfined phases (PD-1, PD-2) and two confined phases (CC-1, CC-2), separated by a Gross-Witten-Wadia transition that can be...

  10. Kac-Moody algebras from M5-giants

    hep-th 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The single-sum giant graviton expansion of ADHM Higgs indices is proposed to encode, in two fugacity limits, the vacuum characters of the affine Kac-Moody algebras \ hat su(l)_1^{\ times m} and \ hat su(l)_m.

  11. Instability of Black Holes in AdS$_3 \times S^3$

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Near-extremal AdS3 x S3 black holes are thermodynamically and dynamically unstable, decaying to a central black hole plus chiral primaries or new macroscopic giant strings.

  12. Ensembles in M-theory and Holography

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The M2-brane partition function should be viewed as a grand canonical object in AdS4/ABJM holography, fixing the three-form source rather than the flux number N, which resolves puzzles about Airy shifts and one-loop e...

    hep-th 2026-07 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    A hanging D5/anti-D5 pair in a deformed AdS5 x S5 background is proposed as the topological defect that measures the U(1) charge of determinant operators.
