abstract

Recently, S. Murthy has proposed a convergent expansion of free partition functions and superconformal indices of finite-$N$ purely adjoint gauge theories based on a Fredholm determinant expansion. This expansion has been dubbed the giant graviton expansion and takes the form of an infinite series of corrections to the $N=\infty$ result, with the $m^\text{th}$ correction being of order $e^{-mN}$. We show that this expansion can be reproduced using eigenvalue instantons in unitary matrix integrals. This perspective allows us to get the giant graviton expansion proposed by S. Murthy without the intermediate step of the Hubbard Stratonovich transformation.

    The 1/2-BPS giant graviton expansions for U(N), SO(2k+1), Sp(k), and SO(2k) N=4 SYM are derived from supersymmetric localization of D3-branes in AdS5, with the analytic continuation explained as wall-crossing in a Lan...

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The maximal giant's unstable-saddle thimble contributes exactly the negative terms in the half-BPS partition function, identifying those terms as bulk duals of trace relations.

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For toric quiver theories, coefficients of the large-N superconformal index grow like exp(constant*sqrt(n)) times n^((m-5)/4) for the A-hat_m family, with polynomial growth for dP3 and Y^{p,0}.

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the Veneziano large-N_c limit, QCD at finite baryon chemical potential has two partially deconfined phases (PD-1, PD-2) and two confined phases (CC-1, CC-2), separated by a Gross-Witten-Wadia transition that can be...
