  We study a relation between droplet configurations in the bubbling AdS
geometries and a complex matrix model that describes the dynamics of a class of
chiral primary operators in dual N=4 super Yang Mills (SYM). We show rigorously
that a singlet holomorphic sector of the complex matrix model is equivalent to
a holomorphic part of two-dimensional free fermions, and establish an exact
correspondence between the singlet holomorphic sector of the complex matrix
model and one-dimensional free fermions. Based on this correspondence, we find
a relation of the singlet holomorphic operators of the complex matrix model to
the Wigner phase space distribution. By using this relation and the AdS/CFT
duality, we give a further evidence that the droplets in the bubbling AdS
geometries are identified with those in the phase space of the one-dimensional
fermions. We also show that the above correspondence actually maps the
operators of N=4 SYM corresponding to the (dual) giant gravitons to the droplet
configurations proposed in the literature.
