Giant gravitons in twisted holography

Abstract

We study correlation functions of determinant-like operators in the "chiral algebra subsector" of four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=4$ gauge theory with $U(N)$ gauge group. We map the the large-$N$ saddles of the correlation functions to specific semiclassical D-branes in the holographic dual BCOV theory. We present a detailed match of several gauge-theory and BCOV calculations.
