Matti Jarvinen: Progress in backreacted holographic QCD

Description

I discuss some of the latest developments in holographic bottom-up models for QCD in the Veneziano limit (V-QCD) where the flavor fully backreacts to the glue. Finite quark mass and the axial anomaly can be included in the model in a natural way, and the pion and eta prime masses satisfy the Gell-Mann-Oakes-Renner and Witten-Veneziano relations. I also show how the S-parameter depends on the quark mass and how double trace deformations affect the phase diagram.
