The Holographic Models of the scalar sector of QCD
We investigate the AdS/QCD duality for the two-point correlation functions of
the lowest dimension scalar meson and scalar glueball operators, in the case of
the Soft Wall holographic model of QCD. Masses and decay constants as well as
gluon condensates are compared to their QCD estimates. In particular, the role
of the boundary conditions for the bulk-to-boundary propagators is emphasized.Comment: Invited talk at the 5th International Conference on Quarks and

Quark-antiquark bound state equation in the Wilson loop approach with minimal surfaces
The quark-antiquark gauge invariant Green function is studied through its
dependence on Wilson loops. The latter are saturated, in the large Nc limit and
for large contours, by minimal surfaces. A covariant bound state equation is
derived which in the center-of-mass frame and at equal-times takes the form of
a Breit-Salpeter type equation. The large-distance interaction potentials
reduce in the static case to a confining linear vector potential. In general,
the interaction potentials involve contributions having the structure of flux
tube like terms.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figures. Talk given by H.S. at the Workshop QCD at Work

From accelerating and Poincar\'e coordinates to black holes in spacelike warped AdS, and back
We first review spacelike stretched warped AdS and we describe its black
hole quotients by using accelerating and Poincar\'e coordinates. We then
describe the maximal analytic extension of the black holes and present their
causal diagrams. Finally, we calculate spacetime limits of the black hole phase
space . This is done by requiring that the identification vector
has a finite non-zero limit. The limits we obtain are the
self-dual solution in accelerating or Poincar\'e coordinates, depending
respectively on whether the limiting spacetimes are non-extremal or extremal,
and warped AdS with a periodic proper time identification.Comment: 43 pages, 11 figures. v4: version to appear in CQG, presentation
