Description

We construct a bottom-up model for the holographic dual of walking technicolor, which is based on dilaton-deformed AdS_5 geometry, taking into account the back-reaction of the probe brane. We then calculate the dilaton decay constant and its mass to show that the dilaton can be very light.
