The geometry of large charge multi-traces in \( \mathcal{N} \) = 4 SYM

We construct a one-parameter family of half-BPS solutions of type IIB supergravity using a consistent truncation to gauged five-dimensional supergravity. For small values of the parameter, the solution reduces to the linear perturbation of AdS₅ × S⁵ dual to the chiral primary operator in the stress-tensor multiplet, and we give evidence that the geometry is regular and asymptotes AdS in a normalisable way for arbitrarily large values of the parameter. We conjecture that the solution is the gravity dual of a “heavy” multi-trace operator in $\mathcal{N}$ \( \mathcal{N} \) = 4 SU(N) Super Yang-Mills made by p copies of the stress-tensor chiral primary operator, with p of order N² in the large N limit. We perform some holographic checks supporting this duality map.
