We consider gauge/gravity duality with flavor for the finite-temperature field theory dual of the AdS-Schwarzschild black hole background with embedded D7-brane probes. In particular, we investigate spectral functions at finite baryon…
We illustrate the contemporary application of Dyson-Schwinger equations using two examples: the calculation of pseudoscalar meson masses, an associated model-independent mass formula and the approach to the heavy-quark limit; and the study…
Starting from many quark interactions, we construct a nonlinear sigma-omega model at finite temperature and density. The mesons are introduced as auxiliary fields. Effective quark-meson couplings are strongly related to effective meson…
In the effective field theory framework the interaction between two heavy hadrons can be decomposed into a long- and a short-range piece. The long-range piece corresponds to the one-pion-exchange potential and is relatively well-known. The…
We review standard holographic derivations of the scalar glueball spectra and emphasize computational assumptions which rely strongly on the original AdS/CFT correspondence, and those which are more arbitrary. In the soft-wall model, we…
We show that a Dynamical AdS/QCD model is able to reproduce the linear Regge trajectories for the light-flavor sector of mesons with high spin and also for the scalar and pseudoscalar ones. In addition the model has confinement by the…
We propose an effective field theory incorporating light SU(3)-flavour and heavy quark spin symmetry to describe charmed meson-antimeson bound states. At lowest order the effective field theory entails a remarkable simplification: it only…
We report results of masses and decay constants of light and charmed pseudo-scalar mesons using lattice QCD with M\"obius domain-wall fermions. Using this formulation we are able to compute pseudo-scalar decay constants through the…
Using the framework of wedge dynamics, we compute the effective transverse mass of a soft quark mode propagating in the expanding background of hard quarks and gluons created at the earliest time of the collision. We discover that the wedge…
We consider a general two-dimensional gravity model minimally or nonminimally coupled to a scalar field. The canonical form of the model is elucidated, and a general solution of the equations of motion in the massless case is reviewed. In…
We derive an effective spin Hamiltonian for the one-dimensional half-filled asymmetric ionic Hubbard model with alternating on-site interaction in the limit of strong repulsion. It is shown that the effective Hamiltonian is that of a spin…
We study the properties of heavy mesons using a unitarized approach in a hot pionic medium, based on an effective hadronic theory. The interaction between the heavy mesons and pseudoscalar Goldstone bosons is described by a chiral…
In position space the interaction terms of soft-collinear effective theory must be multipole-expanded to obtain interaction terms with homogeneous scaling behaviour. In this note we provide a manifestly gauge-invariant formulation of the…

Spectra of the neutral heavy mesons, $\eta_c(1S,2S)$, $J/\psi$, $\psi(2S)$, $\eta_b(1S,2S,3S)$, $\Upsilon(1S,2S,3S)$, $D$, $D^\ast$, $B$, $B^\ast$, $B_s$ and $B_s^\ast$, in a homogeneous magnetic field are analyzed in a potential model of…
We compute the electromagnetic mass difference for the $B$-, $D$- and $K$-mesons using QCD sum rules with double dispersion relations. For the $B$- and $D$-mesons we also compute the linear quark mass correction, whereas for the $K$ the…
Effective-medium theory pertains to the theoretical modelling of homogenization, which aims to replace an inhomogeneous structure of subwavelength-scale constituents with a homogeneous effective medium. The effective-medium theory is…
We calculate the decay rate of light scalar mesons, using a diquark chiral effective theory, recently proposed to describe exotic hadrons. In the effective theory the light scalar mesons are postulated to be bound states of diquark and…
