Abstract
We study open strings on giant gravitons (D-branes on cycles) in the ABJM/AdS 4 × ℂℙ3 correspondence. We find that their energy spectrum has the same form as the one for closed strings, with a nontrivial function of the coupling, avoiding BMN scaling. A similar, Cuntz oscillator, Hamiltonian description for the string (operators at strong coupling) to the AdS 5 case is valid also in this case.
