The influence of Wilson lines on heavy quark anti-quark potential and mass

Abstract

The holographic heavy quark potential is investigated via holographic Wilson loops in the AdS soliton with gauge potential. We analyze two types of holographic Wilson loops. {In the first type, holographic heavy quark potential shows the area law behavior. In the second type, the potential becomes zero at a critical length and physics analogous to the dissociation occurs. The mass of heavy quarkonia and the binding energy are examined.} Lastly, the mass of $0^{++}$ glueball-like operators dual to massless dilaton is calculated. The mass of $0^{++}$ glueball-like operator decreases with increase of the gauge potential as expected in arXiv:2309.03491 [hep-th]. The results are comparable with lattice QCD.
