Abstract
We find giant graviton solutions in Frolov’s three parameter generalization of
the Lunin-Maldacena background. This class of backgrounds provide a nonsupersymmetric
example of the gauge theory/gravity correspondence that can
be tested quantitatively, as recently shown by Frolov, Roiban and Tseytlin. The
giant graviton solutions are shown to have the same energy spectrum as in the
undeformed case, and to be perturbatively stable. The spectrum of fluctuations
about the semiclassical solutions are shown to depend upon the deformation
parameters. We find striking quantitative agreement between the gauge theory
and gravity descriptions of open strings attached to the giant, at the level of
the semiclassical Hamiltonians.
