We propose several quark mass deformations of the holographic model of massless QCD using the D4/D8/D8bar brane configuration proposed by Sakai and Sugimoto. The deformations are based on introducing additional D4 or D6 branes away from the QCD D4 branes. The idea is similar to extended technicolor theories, where the chiral symmetry breaking by additional D-branes are mediated to QCD to induce non-zero quark masses. In the D-brane picture as well as the holographic dual gravity description, the quark and the pion masses are generated by novel worldsheet instantons with finite area. We also derive the Gell-Mann-Oakes-Renner relation, and find the value of the chiral condensate in the Sakai-Sugimoto model.

    Neural network learns confining potentials and dilaton profile in holographic QCD from meson spectra, predicting steeper IR dilaton and pion masses with good accuracy.

  2. Learning holographic QCD with unflavored meson spectra

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 5.0

    Neural networks trained on rho, a1, a2 and f0 mass spectra reconstruct a holographic QCD background with scalar potential k1 X^3 + k2 X^4 (k1 ~ -8, k2 ~17) and claim a pion-mass prediction that is partly circular.
