[HTML][HTML] The D4/D8 model and holographic QCD

SW Li, XT Zhang - Symmetry, 2023 - mdpi.com
As a top-down holographic approach, the D4/D8 model is expected to be a holographic
version of QCD, since it almost includes all the elementary features of QCD based on string …

[HTML][HTML] Popcorn transitions and approach to conformality in homogeneous holographic nuclear matter

J Cruz Rojas, T Demircik, M Järvinen - Symmetry, 2023 - mdpi.com
We study cold and dense nuclear matter by using the gauge/gravity duality. To this end, we
use the Witten–Sakai–Sugimoto model and the V-QCD models with an approach where the …

Boundary terms in the Witten-Sakai-Sugimoto model at finite density

L Bartolini, SB Gudnason - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We consider the Witten-Sakai-Sugimoto model in the approximation of smeared instantons
at finite density via a homogeneous ansatz, which is known to be discontinuous in order to …

Holographic charm and bottom pentaquarks. I. Mass spectra with spin effects

Y Liu, MA Nowak, I Zahed - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
We revisit the three nonstrange pentaquarks [1 2 1 2-] S= 0, 1 and [1 2 3 2-] S= 1 predicted
using the holographic dual description, where chiral and heavy quark symmetry are manifest …

Tachyon-dependent Chern-Simons terms and the V-QCD baryon

M Järvinen, E Kiritsis, F Nitti, E Préau - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 - Springer
A bstract The structure of the five-dimensional Tachyon-Chern-Simons action and its
relevance to single-baryon states in the context of the V-QCD models for holographic QCD …

Corrections to the instanton configuration as baryon in holographic QCD

S Li, H Li, S Luo - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
In this work, we first derive the corrections to the instanton configuration of the flavored
gauge field in the D4–D8 model with generic flavor numbers. Then, as the instanton …

Witten-Veneziano mechanism and pseudoscalar glueball-meson mixing in holographic QCD

J Leutgeb, A Rebhan - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
We revisit the U (1) A anomaly in the holographic model of low-energy QCD by Witten,
Sakai, and Sugimoto, presenting a new and direct derivation of the Witten-Veneziano …

Heavy and strange holographic baryons

Y Liu, I Zahed - Physical Review D, 2017 - APS
We extend the D 4-D 8 holographic construction to include three chiral and one heavy
flavors, to describe heavy-light baryons with strangeness and their exotics. At strong …

Heavy holographic exotics: tetraquarks as Efimov states

Y Liu, MA Nowak, I Zahed - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
We provide a holographic description of nonstrange multiquark exotics as compact
topological molecules by binding heavy-light mesons to a tunneling configuration in D 8-D …
