TL;DR

This paper investigates how electric and magnetic Melvin field deformations of $AdS_3 imes S^3 imes T^4$ influence giant graviton stability, string solutions, and their energies within the AdS/CFT framework.

Contribution

It introduces new giant graviton and string solutions in Melvin-deformed backgrounds, analyzing their stability and energy modifications due to external fluxes.

Findings

Electric/magnetic fields stabilize certain giant graviton configurations.

External flux increases the energy of spinning strings and giant gravitons.

Deformed backgrounds alter the size and stability properties of solutions.

Abstract

We apply the transformation of mixing azimuthal and internal coordinate or mixing time and internal coordinate to the 11D M-theory with a stack of M2-branes $\bot$ M2-branes, then, through the mechanism of Kaluza-Klein reduction and a series of the T duality we obtain the corresponding background of a stack of D1-branes $\bot$ D5-branes which, in the near-horizon limit, becomes the magnetic or electric Melvin field deformed $AdS_3 \times S^3 \times T^4$. We find the giant graviton solution in the deformed spacetime and see that the configuration whose angular momentum is within a finite region could has a fixed size and become more stable than the point-like graviton, in contrast to the undeformed giant graviton which only exists when its angular momentum is a specific value and could have arbitrary size. We discuss in detail the properties of how the electric/magnetic Melvin field will affect the size of the giant gravitons. We also adopt an ansatz to find the classical string solutions which are rotating in the deformed $S^3$ with an angular momentum in the rotation plane. The spinning string and giant graviton solutions we obtained show that the external magnetic/electric flux will increase the solution energy. Therefore, from the AdS/CFT point of view, the corrections of the anomalous dimensions of operators in the dual field theory will be positive. Finally, we also see that the spinning string and giant graviton in the near-horizon spacetime of Melvin field deformed D5-branes background have the similar properties as those in the deformed $AdS_3 \times S^3 \times T^4$.
