Chiral Symmetry Breaking and Phase Transitions in Holographic Gauge Theories

We discuss the spontaneous breaking of the chiral symmetry in QCD in the framework of the string/gauge duality. We use two different holographic models of QCD. One of them is the general intersecting…

Hairpin-branes and tachyon-paperclips in holographic backgrounds

Mesons in gauge/gravity duals

Abstract.We review recent progress in studying mesons within gauge/gravity duality, in the context of adding flavour degrees of freedom to generalizations of the AdS/CFT correspondence. Our main…

Spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking in holographic soft wall models

We investigate non-linear extensions of the holographic soft wall model proposed by Karch, Katz, Son and Stephanov [1] including non-minimal couplings in the fivedimensional action. The non-minimal…

Dynamics of baryons from string theory and vector dominance

We consider a holographic model of QCD from string theory, a la Sakai and Sugimoto, and study baryons. In this model, mesons are collectively realized as a five-dimensional U(NF) = U(1) × SU(NF)…

Towards a novel description of flavor dynamics in holographic QCD

D-branes with a U-shaped geometry, like the D8 flavor branes in the Sakai-Sugimoto model of QCD, are encountered frequently in holographic backgrounds. The Dirac-Born-Infeld action, which is commonly…

Quark Mass in the Sakai-Sugimoto Model of Chiral Symmetry Breaking

We re-analyze D8 brane embeddings in the geometry of a D4 brane wrapped on a circle that describe chiral symmetry breaking in a strongly coupled non-supersymmetric gauge theory. We argue that if the…

The CP-odd sector and $θ$ dynamics in holographic QCD

The holographic model of V-QCD is used to analyze the physics of QCD in the Veneziano large-N limit. An unprecedented analysis of the CP-odd physics is performed going beyond the level of effective…

An AdS/QCD model from tachyon condensation: II

A simple holographic model is presented and analyzed that describes chiral symmetry breaking and the physics of the meson sector in QCD. This is a bottom-up model that incorporates string theory…

Nuclear Force from String Theory

We compute nuclear force in a holographic model of QCD on the basis of a D4-D8 brane configuration in type IIA string theory. Repulsive core of nucleons is quite important in nuclear physics, but its…

We analyze the resolution of the U(1)A problem in the Sakai-Sugimoto holographic dual of large Nc QCD at finite temperature. It has been shown that in the confining phase the axial symmetry is broken…

Recently a holographic model of hadrons motivated by AdS/CFT has been proposed to fit the low energy data of mesons. We point out that the infrared physics can be developed in a more systematic…
