Abstract

We find new 1/8-BPS giant graviton solutions in AdS5×S5AdS_5 \times S^5, carrying three angular momenta along S5S^5, and investigate their properties. Especially, we show that nonzero worldvolume gauge fields are admitted preserving supersymmetry. These gauge field modes can be viewed as electromagnetic waves along the compact D3 brane, whose Poynting vector contributes to the BPS angular momenta. We also analyze the (nearly-)spherical giant gravitons with worldvolume gauge fields in detail. Expressing the S3S^3 in Hopf fibration (S1S^1 fibred over S2S^2), the wave propagates along the S1S^1 fiber.
