Inductive calculation of superconformal indices based on giant graviton expansion

Abstract

We investigate a simple-sum giant graviton expansion of the superconformal indices of $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal field theories realized on D3-branes probing $7$-brane backgrounds with constant axio-dilation field. The expansion is of self-dual type, and imposes strong constraints on the indices. By using the constraints we determine first few terms in the superconformal indices for arbitrary rank $N$.
