Abstract

As a top-down holographic approach, the D4/D8 model is expected to be the holographic version of QCD since it almost includes all the elementary features of QCD based on string theory. In this manuscript, we review the fundamental properties of the D4/D8 model with respect to the D4-brane background, embedding of flavor branes and holographic quark, gluon, meson, baryon and glueball with various symmetries, then we also take a look at some interesting applications and developments based on this model.
