Abstract
We study the classical spectrum of string theory on AdS5 × S5 in the Hofman-Maldacena limit. We find a family of classical solutions corresponding to Giant Magnons with two independent angular momenta on S5. These solutions are related via Pohlmeyer's reduction procedure to the charged solitons of the Complex sine-Gordon equation. The corresponding string states are dual to BPS boundstates of many magnons in the spin-chain description of planar N = 4 SUSY Yang-Mills. The exact dispersion relation for these states is obtained from a purely classical calculation in string theory. © SISSA 2006.
