abstract

We introduce a class of supersymmetric cycles in spacetimes of the form AdS times a sphere or $T^{1,1}$ which can be considered as generalizations of the giant gravitons. Branes wrapped on these cycles preserve $1\over 2$, $1\over 4$ or $1\over 8$ of the supersymmetry. On the CFT side these configurations correspond to superpositions of the large number of BPS states.

  1. Fortuity and Complexity in a Simple Quark Model

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    In a toy qubit model of quarks, BRST cohomology designates baryons as fortuitous and mesons as monotone, with the former displaying super-exponential complexity and the latter power-law complexity in the Veneziano limit.

  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. 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...

  4. 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.

  5. The giant graviton expansion in AdS$_5\times$SE$_5$

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Giant-graviton fluctuations on AdS5 imes SE5 are governed by a conical Fock-Darwin system whose lowest Landau level yields the protected finite-N index of the dual N=1 SCFT for T1,1.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. Linking defects via AdS/CFT holography

    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.
