The holographic life of the η′

In the string holographic dual of large-Nc QCD with N f flavours of [1], the η′ meson is massless at infinite Nc and dual to a collective fluctuation of Nf D6-brane probes in a supergravity background. Here we identify the string diagrams responsible for the generation of a mass of order Nf/Nc, cons...

Sumario:In the string holographic dual of large-Nc QCD with N f flavours of [1], the η′ meson is massless at infinite Nc and dual to a collective fluctuation of Nf D6-brane probes in a supergravity background. Here we identify the string diagrams responsible for the generation of a mass of order Nf/Nc, consistent with the Witten-Veneziano formula, and show that the supergravity limit of these diagrams corresponds to mixings with pseudoscalar glueballs. We argue that the dependence on the θ-angle in the supergravity description occurs only through the combination θ + 2√Nfη′/ fπ, as dictated by the U(1)A anomaly. We provide a quantitative test by computing the linear term in the η′ potential in two independent ways, with perfect agreement. © SISSA/ISAS 2004.
