Abstract

A new approach to the computation of correlation functions involving two determinant operators as well as one non-protected single trace operator has recently been developed by Jiang, Komatsu and Vescovi. This correlation function provides the holographic description of the absorption of a closed string by a giant graviton. The analysis has a natural interpretation in the framework of group representation theory, which admits a generalization to general Schur polynomials and restricted Schur polynomials. This generalizes the holographic description to any giant or dual giant gravitons which carry more than one angular momentum on the sphere. For a restricted Schur polynomial labeled by a column with N boxes (dual to a maximal giant graviton) we find evidence in favor of integrability. Since this restricted Schur polynomial is a \( \frac{1}{2} \)-BPS operator, this integrability is a corollary of the results of Jiang, Komatsu and Vescovi.
