More on a Holographic Dual of QCD

We investigate the interactions among the pion, vector mesons and external gauge fields in the holographic dual of massless QCD proposed in a previous paper [T. Sakai and S. Sugimoto, Prog. Theor. Phys. 113 (2005), 843; hep-th/0412141] on the basis of probe D8-branes embedded in a D4-brane background in type IIA string theory. We obtain the coupling constants by performing both analytic and numerical calculations, and compare them with experimental data. It is found that the vector meson dominance in the pion form factor as well as in the Wess-Zumino-Witten term holds in an intriguing manner. We also study the and 3 decay amplitudes. It is shown that the interactions relevant to these decay amplitudes have the…
