Non-Abelian Giant Gravitons

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

We argue that the giant graviton configurations known from the literature have a complementary, microscopical description in terms of multiple gravitational waves undergoing a dielectric (or magnetic moment) effect. We present a non-Abelian effective action for these gravitational waves with dielectric couplings and show that stable dielectric solutions exist. These solutions agree in the large NN limit with the giant graviton configurations in the literature.
