We calculate the spectrum of glueball masses in non-supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in three and four dimensions, based on a conjectured duality between supergravity and large N gauge theories. The glueball masses are obtained by solving supergravity wave equations in a black hole geometry. We find that the mass ratios are in good numerical agreement with the available lattice data. We also compute the leading (g_{YM}^2 N)^{-1} corrections to the glueball masses, by taking into account stringy corrections to the supergravity action and to the black hole metric. We find that the corrections to the masses are negative and of order (g_{YM}^2N)^{-3/2}. Thus for a fixed ultraviolet cutoff the masses decrease as we decrease the 't Hooft coupling, in accordance with our expectation about the continuum limit of the gauge theories.

  1. On the spectra of holographic QFTs on constant curvature manifolds

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    For holographic QFTs on constant-curvature manifolds, the spectrum is always discrete for negative curvature and always has a continuous component starting at m^2 = (9/4)α^{-2} for positive curvature.

  2. Spin-resolved double-trace thermal coefficients in holography

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Zero-frequency bulk Heun solutions fix the residual spatial ambiguity left by KMS, yielding spin-resolved holographic double-trace thermal coefficients and canceling complex bulk-cone singularities.
