Abstract

Certain correlation functions are computed exactly in the zero coupling limit of N=4 super Yang-Mills theory with gauge group SU(N). A set of linearly independent operators that are in one-to-one correspondence with the half-BPS representations of the SU(N) gauge theory is given. These results are used to study giant gravitons in the dual AdS5xS5 string theory. In addition, for the U(N) gauge theory, we explain how to systematically identify contributions coming from the boundary degrees of freedom.
