We implement Mikhailov's holomorphic curve construction to explore various properties of giant gravitons in type IIB string theory on $AdS_{5}\times T^{1,1}$. By coloring the D-brane worldvolume, we are able to show how, in the string…

We study the behaviour of spinning strings in the background of various distributions of smeared giant gravitons in supergravity. This gives insights into the behaviour of operators of high dimension, spin and R-charge. Using a new…

We consider Penrose limits of the Klebanov-Strassler and Maldacena-Nunez holographic duals to N =1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills. By focusing in on the IR region we obtain exactly solvable string theory models. These represent the…

We demonstrate in two minisuperspace models that a perturbation expansion of quasiclassical Euclidean gravity has a factorial dependence on the order of the term at large orders. This behavior indicates that the expansion is an asymptotic…

Due to instanton effects, gauge-theoretic large N expansions yield asymptotic series, in powers of 1/N^2. The present work shows how to generically make such expansions meaningful via their completion into resurgent transseries, encoding…

We reconsider in some detail a construction allowing (Borel) convergence of an alternative perturbative expansion, for specific physical quantities of asymptotically free models. The usual perturbative expansions (with an explicit mass…

Perturbative expansions in many physical systems yield 'only' asymptotic series which are not even Borel resummable. Interestingly, the corresponding ambiguities point to nonperturbative physics. We numerically verify this renormalon…

We study the cosmological perturbations of the recently proposed extension of non-linear massive gravity with a scalar field. The added scalar field ensures a new symmetry on the field space of the theory. The theory has the property of…

The Galilean conformal algebra has recently been realised in the study of the non-relativistic limit of the AdS/CFT conjecture. This was obtained by a systematic parametric group contraction of the parent relativistic conformal field…

We propose a new example of the AdS/CFT correspondence between the system of multiple giant gravitons in AdS${}_5 \times {}$S${}^5$ and the operators with $O(N_c)$ dimensions in ${\cal N}=4$ super Yang-Mills. We first extend the mixing of…

We present a novel expression for an integrated correlation function of four superconformal primaries in $SU(N)$ $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM. This integrated correlator, which is based on supersymmetric localisation, has been the subject of several…

We study correlation functions of two AdS giant gravitons in AdS$_5\times S^5$ and a BPS supergravity mode using holography. In the gauge theory these are described by BPS correlators of Schur polynomials of fully-symmetric representations…

The one-plaquette Hamiltonian of large N lattice gauge theory offers a constructive model of a $1+1$-dimensional string theory with a stable ground state. The free energy is found to be equivalent to the partition function of a string where…

We study open spin chains for strings stretched between giant graviton states in the N=4 SYM field theory in the collective coordinate approach. We study the boundary conditions and the effective Hamiltonian of the corresponding spin chain…

We elaborate a theory of giant vortices [1] based on an asymptotic expansion in inverse powers of their winding number $n$. The theory is applied to the analysis of vortex solutions in the abelian Higgs (Ginzburg-Landau) model. Specific…

Recently there has been progress in the computation of the anomalous dimensions of gauge theory operators at strong coupling by making use of AdS/CFT correspondence. On string theory side they are given by dispersion relations in the…

In this article, the free field theory limit of operators dual to giant gravitons with open strings attached are studied. We introduce a graphical notation, which employs Young diagrams, for these operators. The computation of two point…

We find generating functions for half BPS correlators in $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM theories with gauge groups $Sp(2N)$, $SO(2N+1)$, and $SO(2N)$ by computing the norms of a class of BPS coherent states. These coherent states are built from…

We study the one-loop anomalous dimensions of the Super Yang-Mills dual operators to open strings ending on AdS giant gravitons. AdS giant gravitons have no upper bound for their angular momentum and we represent them by the contraction of…
