Description

I will start by a generic review of holography and its application to QCD, including the top-down and bottom-up approaches. I will go on discussing some of the latest developments in the construction of holographic models for QCD, concentrating on the bottom-up ones. I will cover improved holographic QCD, which is a string-theory inspired model for the Yang-Mills theory. Finally I will discuss holographic modeling of QCD in the Veneziano limit by introducing quarks in improved holographic QCD, and letting them backreact fully.
