Giant magnons and giant gravitons

In this thesis we shall present work concerning the description of the emergence of solitonic fundamental strings from stable, finite energy, compact D3-branes in a subspace of $AdS_{5}\times S^{5}$ and their subsequent interaction. We work in the planar limit and focus on states of large angular mo...
