Large branes in AdS and their field theory dual

Abstract

Recently it was suggested that a graviton in AdS5×S5AdS_5 \times S^5 with a large momentum along the sphere can blow up into a spherical D-brane in S5S^5. In this paper we show that the same graviton can also blow up into a spherical D-brane in AdS5AdS_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 S3×RS^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.
