We find non-critical string backgrounds in five and eight dimensions, holographically related to four-dimensional conformal field theories with N=0 and N=1 supersymmetries. In the five-dimensional case we find an AdS_5 background metric for a string model related to non-supersymmetric, conformal QCD with large number of colors and flavors and discuss the conjectured existence of a conformal window from the point of view of our solution. In the eight-dimensional string theory, we build a family of solutions of the form AdS_5 x \tilde{S}^3 with \tilde{S}^3 a squashed three-sphere. For a special value of the ratio N_f/N_c, the background can be interpreted as the supersymmetric near-horizon limit of a system of color and flavor branes on R^{1,3} times a known four-dimensional generalization of the cigar. The N=1 dual theory with fundamental matter should have an IR fixed point only for a fixed ratio N_f/N_c. General features of the string/gauge theory correspondence for theories with fundamental flavors are also addressed.

Fortuity and Complexity in a Simple Quark Model
In a toy qubit model of quarks, BRST cohomology designates baryons as fortuitous and mesons as monotone, with the former displaying super-exponential complexity and the latter power-law complexity in the Veneziano limit.

Quark flavors in hot and dense holographic QCD: setup and comparison to data
A 2+1 flavor holographic QCD model fitted to lattice thermodynamics predicts a smoother nuclear-to-quark matter transition with lower latent heat than earlier V-QCD models.

Locating the QCD critical point with neutron-star observations
Bayesian analysis of a hybrid holographic EOS with neutron-star constraints locates the QCD critical endpoint at μ≈626 MeV and T≈119 MeV and predicts a strong first-order deconfinement transition at zero temperature.

Tachyonic AdS/QCD, Determining the Strong Running Coupling and \beta-function in both UV and IR Regions of AdS Space
A tachyonic AdS/QCD construction deforms the bulk geometry with a tachyon-dependent dielectric function to produce a unified running coupling from perturbative UV to nonperturbative IR regimes.
