In string theory by a giant graviton one refers to a D-brane- or M-brane-configuration which wraps a contractible cycle stabilized not by topology (as for usual wrapped branes) or by flux (as for polarized branes), but by angular momentum, usually along the equator of the n-sphere-factor in a Freund-Rubin compactification.
The supersymmetric classical solutions of the BMN matrix model are configurations of fuzzy 2-spheres, corresponding to M2-brane-giant gravitons (BMN 02 (5.4), DSJVR 02).
The concept was introduced in
for branes in anti de Sitter spacetime times an n-sphere and generalized to other near horizon geometries in
