Description

The nonsupersymmetric nonconformal Witten model augmented by chiral quarks in a D4-D8 brane construction due to Sakai and Sugimoto is a top-down string-theory construction of a gravity dual to low-energy large-N QCD with only one dimensionless free parameter. Used as a phenomenological model it reproduces several features of hadron physics even quantitatively to within 10-30%. This talk summarizes our results for the predictions of this particular holographic QCD model for decay patterns of scalar, pseudoscalar, and tensor glueballs.
