Abstract content <br> &nbsp; (Max 300 words)

According to the AdS/CFT correspondence, the conformal dimension of an operator in the N = 4 Super Yang-Mills theory is dual to the energy of the
corresponding state in IIB string theory on the AdS5× S5 background. In this work, we solve the eigenvalue problem of the one-loop dilatation operator
acting on restricted Schur polynomials whose dimension is O(N), where N is large. After diagonalizing this action, the nonplanar anomalous dimension
spectrum is found to match that of a classical system of oscillating springs between masses. This result provides further support that these field theory
operators are dual to excited giant gravitons in the dual string theory.
