Giant gravitons and fuzzy image Original Research Article

In this article we describe the giant graviton configurations in image backgrounds that involve 5-spheres, namely, the giant graviton in image and the dual giant graviton in image, in terms of dielectric gravitational waves. Thus, we conclude the programme initiated in [] and pursued in [] and [] towards the microscopical description of giant gravitons in image spacetimes. In our construction the gravitational waves expand due to Myers dielectric effect onto “fuzzy 5-spheres” which are described as image bundles over fuzzy image. These fuzzy manifolds appear as solutions of the matrix model that comes up as the action for M-theory gravitational waves. The validity of our description is checked by confirming the agreement with the Abelian description in terms of a spherical M5-brane when the number of waves goes to infinity.
