The holographic Witten-Sakai-Sugimoto model is an almost parameter-free approximation to large-N QCD with chiral quarks that in a number of cases gives surprisingly good quantitative results for light meson physics. It also allows for…
We study the mass spectrum and decay constants of light and heavy mesons in a soft-wall holographic approach, using the correspondence of string theory in Anti-de Sitter space and conformal field theory in physical space-time.
We perform the first lattice QCD study on the radiative decay of the scalar glueball to the vector meson $\phi$ in the quenched approximation. The calculations are carried out on three gauge ensembles with different lattice spacings, which…
Quantum simulations of QCD require digitization of the infinite-dimensional gluon field. Schemes for doing this with the minimum amount of qubits are desirable. We present a practical digitization for $SU(3)$ gauge theories via its discrete…
We study the coupled equations describing fluctuations of scalars and the metric about background solutions of N=8 gauged supergravity which are dual to boundary field theories with renormalization group flow. For the case of a kink…
We generalize the soft-wall and hard-wall models to a light-front holographic QCD model with a generic dilaton profile. The effective potential induced by a higher power dilaton profile is interpreted as a stronger color confinement at long…

We present a generalized linear sigma model that includes both scalar and pseudoscalar glueballs in addition to a quark-antiquark as well as a four-quark chiral nonet. Utilizing the axial and trace anomalies of QCD (at the effective mesonic…

The bottom-up approach of the AdS/CFT correspondence leads to the study of field equations in an $AdS_5$ background and from their solutions to the determination of the hadronic mass spectrum. We extend the study to the equations of $AdS_5$…
Scalar \cite{scalar_paper} and tensor \cite{tensor_paper} glueballs created in $J/\psi$ radiative decays are studied in quenched lattice QCD. Using two anisotropic lattices to approach the continuum limit, we compute the relevant form…
In a system with long-ranged correlations, the behavior of correlation functions is sensitive to the presence of a boundary. We show that surface deformations strongly modify this behavior as compared to a flat surface. The modified near…
The holographic recipe for the calculation of decay constants is revisited. Starting from the holographic 2-point function and using the fact that normalizable bulk modes scale as $z^{\Delta-S}$, with $S$ the spin, we can obtain a…
The computation of the glueball spectrum is particularly challenging due to the rapid decay of the signal-to-noise ratio of the correlation functions. To address this issue, advanced techniques such as gauge link smearing and the…
Accurate non-perturbative calculations of glueballs are performed using light-front quantised SU(N) gauge theory, to leading order of the 1/N expansion. Based on early work of Bardeen and Pearson, disordered gauge-covariant link variables M…
We introduce the 5-dimension dynamical holographic QCD model, which is constructed in the graviton-dilaton-scalar framework with the dilaton background field $\Phi$ and the scalar field $X$ responsible for the gluodynamics and chiral…
Anisotropic lattices are an efficient means of studying the glueballs of QCD, however problems arise with simulations of the lightest, scalar state. The mass is strongly dependent on the lattice spacing, even when a mean-field improved…
In this thesis we investigate proposed duals to QCD. Duals to QCD fall into two categories: `top-down' and `bottom-up'. We take inspiration from both by truncating a consistent solution to the type IIB supergravity equations of motion…
We consider the dynamics of the scalar and pseudoscalar glueballs in the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). By using the instanton model for the QCD vacuum we give the arguments that the nonperturbative gluon-gluon interaction is qualitatively…
