Abstract

We use holography to compute the large-NN effective field theory along the moduli space of vacua of an infinite class of three-dimensional N=2\mathcal{N}=2 SCFTs admitting a dual M-theory description. We focus in particular on toric models and show how the spectrum of large RR-charge SCFT chiral scalar operators corresponds to a set of explicit semiclassical solutions of our effective field theory, which describe bound states of backreacting giant gravitons and baryonic-like M5-branes. Our semiclassical description allows for a direct computation of the scaling dimensions of these operators and provides a starting point for a semiclassical investigation of the SCFT data in the large RR-charge sector. We consider the models corresponding to the Y12(P2)Y^{12}(\mathbb{P}^2) and Q111Q^{111} Sasaki-Einstein spaces as explicit examples.
