On the spectra of scalar mesons from HQCD models
Oded Mintakevich, Jacob Sonnenschein
We determine the holographic spectra of scalar mesons from the fluctuations of the embedding of flavor D-brane probes in HQCD models. The models we consider include a generalizatio…
Non critical holographic models of the thermal phases of QCD
Victoria Mazo, Jacob Sonnenschein
We analyze the thermal phases of a non critical holographic model of QCD. The model is based on a six dimensional background of non extremal D4 branes wrapping a spacial circ…
Quark mass and condensate in HQCD
Oren Bergman, Shigenori Seki, Jacob Sonnenschein
We extend the Sakai-Sugimoto holographic model of QCD (HQCD) by including the scalar bi-fundamental "tachyon" field in the 8-brane-anti-8-brane probe theory. We show that this fiel…
What does the string/gauge correspondence teach us about Wilson loops?
Jacob Sonnenschein
In these lectures we describe the attempt to extract the expectation values of Wilson loops from the string/gauge correspondence. We start with the original calculation in .…
Potential from Strings in Curved Spacetime - Classical Results
Y. Kinar, E. Schreiber, J. Sonnenschein
We compute the leading behaviour of the quark anti-quark potential from a generalized Nambu-Goto action associated with a curved space-time having an "extra dimension". The extra d…
More on Screening and Confinement in 2D QCD
J. Sonnenschein
We provide further evidence for the screening behavior of massless SU(N_c) bosonized QCD by (i) computing the potential between external quarks, (ii) bosonizing also the external s…
