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 …

Heavy ion collision experiments recreating the quark-gluon plasma that filled the nascent
universe have established that it is a nearly perfect liquid that flows with such minimal …

We present a holographic dual of four-dimensional, large N c QCD with massless flavors.
This model is constructed by placing Nf probe D8-branes into a D4 background, where …

We investigate the interactions among the pion, vector mesons and external gauge fields in
the holographic dual of massless QCD proposed in a previous paper [T. Sakai and S …

We analyze the finite temperature behavior of the Sakai–Sugimoto model, which is a
holographic dual of a theory which spontaneously breaks a U (Nf) L× U (Nf) R chiral flavor …

Holography inspired stringy hadrons (HISH) is a set of models that describe hadrons:
mesons, baryons and glueballs as strings in flat four dimensional space–time. The models …

A bstract In this work, we offer a dynamical soft-wall model to describe the gluodynamics and
chiral dynamics in one systematical framework. We firstly construct a quenched dynamical …

We consider a D7-brane probe of AdS 5× S 5 in the presence of pure gauge B-field. In the
dual gauge theory, the B-field couples to the fundamental matter introduced by the D7-brane …

We analyze mesons at finite temperature in a chiral, confining string dual. The temperature
dependence of low-spin as well as high-spin meson masses is shown to exhibit a pattern …

We consider a new approach towards constructing approximate holographic duals of QCD
from experimental hadron properties. This framework allows us to derive a gravity dual …
