SUMMARY:D-branes and giant gravitons in AdS4xCP3 - Andrea Prinsloo (Univer
 sity of Capte Town)
DTSTART:20090227T130000Z

UID:TALK16539@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Dr H K Kunduri
DESCRIPTION:The AdS4/Chern-Simons theory duality\, recently conjectured by
  Aharony\, Bergman\, Jafferis and Maldacena\, provides not only a new test
 ing ground for the gauge theory/gravity correspondence\, but also a possib
 le way to access M-theoretic degrees of freedom.  In this talk\, I shall d
 iscuss some of our recent results on the open string sector of the type II
 A string theory in AdS4xCP3\, with emphasis on D-branes and giant graviton
 s in particular.  Specifically\, I shall focus on the so-called "dual" gia
 nt\, a D2-brane extended on an S2 in AdS4\, its spectrum of small fluctuat
 ions and open strings attached to it.
