Abstract

We study the stability of the giant gravitons in the string theory background with NSNS B field. We consider the perturbation of giant gravitons formed by a probe D(8p)(8-p) brane in the background generated by D(p2)(p-2)-D(p)(p) branes for 2p52 \le p \le 5. We use the quadratic approximation to the brane action to find the equations of motion. For p=5p=5, giant graviton configurations are stable independent of the size of the brane. For p5p \ne 5, we calculated the range of the size of the brane where they are stable. We also present the mode frequencies explicitly for some special cases.
