Abstract

We construct a one-parameter family of half-BPS solutions of type IIB supergravity using a consistent truncation to gauged five-dimensional supergravity. For small values of the parameter, the solution reduces to the linear perturbation of AdS5×S5_5\times S^5 dual to the chiral primary operator in the stress-tensor multiplet, and we give evidence that the geometry is regular and asymptotes AdS in a normalisable way for arbitrarily large values of the parameter. We conjecture that the solution is the gravity dual of a ``heavy" multi-trace operator in N=4\mathcal{N}=4 SU(N)SU(N) Super Yang-Mills made by pp copies of the stress-tensor chiral primary operator, with pp of order N2N^2 in the large NN limit. We perform some holographic checks supporting this duality map.
