We investigate the ``giant gravitons'' of McGreevy, Susskind and Toumbas [1]. We demonstrate that these are BPS configurations which preserve precisely the same supersymmetries as a ``point-like'' graviton. We also show that there exist ``dual'' giant gravitons consisting of spherical branes expanding into the AdS component of the spacetime. Finally, we discuss the realization of the stringy exclusion principle within this expanded framework.

Diagonal free field matrix correlators, global symmetries and giant gravitons (2008, background): “Some aspects of this principle find a geometrical expression in the properties of giant gravitons [5, 6 ]. The systematic study of the correlation functions of gauge invariant multi-trace local operators in the half-BPS sector has been fruitful in identifying CFT duals [7, 8, 9] of giant gravitons,”
On gravitational description of Wilson lines (2006, background): “For the BPS states with SO(4) × SO(4) symmetry the relevant branes were known as ”giant gravitons” [7] and they were wrapping cycles either on S(5) (in that case the angular momentum was bounded from above: J ≤ N) or on AdS5.”
BUBBLING GEOMETRIES FOR HALF-BPS WILSON LINES (2006, background): “This AdS2 × S(2) D3brane is an analogue of a giant graviton[11, 12, 13].”

Three-dimensional N=6 SCFT's and their membrane dynamics (2008, background): “Part of the interest in describing these more complicated states is that in the case of N = 4 SYM it is known that these particle and hole states in the quantum Hall effect become two different types of giant gravitons in the dual gravitational theory, as described geometrically in [50, 51].”
Open Strings from N=4 Super Yang-Mills (2002, background): “However, AdS5 × S(5) also admits giant gravitons, namely finite-energy spherical D3-branes localized at the origin of AdS and propagating on the sphere [12].”
Gravity duals of half-BPS Wilson loops (2007, background): “For � ∼ N, they can be associated with giant gravitons (probe branes on S 5 or AdS5) [6, 7, 8 ]. For � ∼ N 2 , the fully back-reacted”
D-branes in Yang-Mills theory and emergent gauge symmetry (2004, neutral): “Recall that the string is question is attached to brane with angular J = Nj, and such branes have a radius r2 = j [ 5 , 4]. Thus the energy of the string in CFT units is predicted by supergravity analysis to be E ∼ √ j”
Large branes in AdS and their field theory dual (2000, result): “While this paper was in preparation, we learned that similar results are being considered by Grisaru, Myers, and Tafjord [22].”
All-genus calculation of Wilson loops using D-branes (2005, background): “One inspiration for this is the concept of “giant gravitons,” where fundamental string excitations are replaced by spherical D3-branes wrapping part of the S5 [4] or part of AdS5 [5, 6].”
Black holes, black rings and their microstates (2007, background): “A few examples of such solutions are the Polchinski-Strassler flow [67] without brane polarization [140, 150], or the singular KK giant graviton [121, 122 , 123, 124, 141].”
A toy model for the AdS/CFT correspondence (2004, background): “Later it was found that there are other D-brane objects, giant gravitons which expand on AdS and spin on the S(5) which have the same quantum numbers [27, 28] where there is no upper bound on the angular momentum that they carry.”
