Recently it was suggested that a graviton in $AdS_5 \times S^5$ with a large momentum along the sphere can blow up into a spherical D-brane in $S^5$. In this paper we show that the same graviton can also blow up into a spherical D-brane in $AdS_5$ with exactly the same quantum numbers (angular momentum and energy). These branes are BPS, preserving 16 of the 32 supersymmetries. We show that there is a BPS {\it classical} solution for SYM on $S^3\times R$ with exactly the same quantum numbers. The solution has non-vanishing Higgs expectation values and hence is dual to the large brane in AdS.

  1. Bootstrapping Giant Graviton Correlators

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Bootstrap methods using f-graphs, OPE limits, localization integrals, and hidden symmetry uniquely fix mixed giant graviton-light correlators through three loops in N=4 SYM.

    Corrected D3-brane actions with path-integral boundary terms reproduce two-point functions of giant graviton operators, while GHY boundary terms yield correlators for Δ~N² operators in LLM geometries.

    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 deform...
