Towards a holographic dual of large-NcQCD
Open accessAbstract
We study N f D6-brane probes in the supergravity background dual to N c D4-branes compactified on a circle with supersymmetry-breaking boundary conditions. In the limit in which the resulting Kaluza-Klein modes decouple, the gauge theory reduces to non-supersymmetric, four-dimensional QCD with N c colours and N f 0, obeying the Gell-Mann-Oakes-Renner relation: M π 2 = −m q ψ/fπ2 . In the case 1$> N f>1 we provide a holographic version of the Vafa-Witten theorem, which states that the U(N f) flavour symmetry cannot be spontaneously broken. Further, we find N f 2−1 unexpectedly light pseudo-scalar mesons in the spectrum. We argue that these are not (pseudo-)Goldstone bosons and speculate on the string mechanism responsible for their lightness. We then study the theory at finite temperature and exhibit a phase transition associated with a discontinuity in ψ(T). D6/ pairs are also briefly discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
