Nick Evans: Dynamic AdS/QCD and the spectra of gauge theories

Description

Dynamic AdS/QCD is an improved holographic description of QCD that inputs the dynamics through the running of the anomalous dimension of the quark condensate. I will motivate it from rigorous D3/D7 models of chiral symmetry breaking. The model allows the study of the behaviour of the meson spectrum as one changes Nf Nc and even the representation of the quarks. I will compare to lattice data and display behaviours of walking theories and those that lie in the conformal window.
