Within the AdS/CFT correspondence, we review the studies of field theories with a large
number of adjoint and fundamental fields, in the Veneziano limit. We concentrate in set‐ups …

We present a number of analytical results which should guide the interpretation of lattice
data in theories with an infrared fixed point (IRFP) deformed by a mass term δ L=-mq¯ q …

Dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking is an appealing, strongly coupled alternative to
the weakly coupled models based on an elementary scalar field develo** a vacuum …

We analyze the existence of a dilaton in gauge theories with approximate infrared conformal
symmetry. To the extent that these theories are governed in the infrared by an approximate …

The lowest-lying glueball masses are computed in SU (N) gauge theory on a spacetime
lattice for constant value of the lattice spacing a and for N ranging from 3 to 8. The lattice …

We investigate the relation between the emergence of a dilaton in gapped (confining) field
theories, and the presence of either complex fixed points or instabilities in the strongly …

A bstract QCD at finite, flavor independent quark mass is analyzed by using bottom-up
holography in the Veneziano limit, where the backreaction of quarks to the gluon dynamics …

A bstract Zero temperature spectra of mesons and glueballs are analyzed in a class of
holographic bottom-up models for QCD in the Veneziano limit, N c→∞, N f→∞, with x= N f/N …

We make use of the language of nonlinear realizations to analyze electroweak symmetry
breaking scenarios in which a light dilaton emerges from the breaking of a nearly conformal …

A bstract We discuss the presence of a light dilaton in CFTs deformed by a nearlymarginal
operator\(\mathcal {O}\), in the holographic realizations consisting of confining RG flows that …
