In a theory with linear confinement, such as QCD, the masses squared m^2 of mesons with high spin S or high radial excitation number n are expected, from semiclassical arguments, to grow linearly with S and n. We show that this behavior can be reproduced within a putative 5-dimensional theory holographically dual to QCD (AdS/QCD). With the assumption that such a dual theory exists and describes highly excited mesons as well, we show that asymptotically linear m^2 spectrum translates into a strong constraint on the INFRARED behavior of that theory. In the simplest model which obeys such a constraint we find m^2 ~ (n+S).

  2. Holographic Schwinger Effect In a Step Dilaton Background

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A step dilaton background in holography yields sharper suppression of the pair-production barrier and greater sensitivity of the Schwinger effect to electric and magnetic fields than conventional soft-wall models.

  3. Uncool soft-wall transitions and gravitational waves

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Soft-wall warped geometries yield rapid, mildly supercooled phase transitions whose TeV-scale gravitational wave signals are accessible to space-based interferometers.

  4. Topological charges and confined-deconfined phase transition in holography
