Light scalar mesons in the soft-wall model of AdS/QCD
read the original abstract
We study light scalar mesons in the AdS/QCD soft-wall model with a background dilaton field. The masses and decay constants are compatible with experiment and QCD determinations if $a_0(980)$ and $f_0(980)$ are identified as the lightest scalar mesons; moreover, the states are organized in linear Regge trajectories with the same slope of vector mesons. Comparing the two-point correlation function of scalar operators in AdS and QCD, information about the condensates can be derived. Strong couplings of scalar states to pairs of light pseudoscalar mesons turn out to be small, at odds with experiment and QCD estimates: this discrepancy is related to the description of chiral symmetry breaking in this model.

Thermodynamics of the Isospectral family of holographic vector mesons
Isospectral transformations in softwall AdS/QCD allow tuning the rho meson's decay constant to its experimental value of 226 MeV, producing a predicted melting temperature of 157 MeV from spectral function computation...

Holographic information measures for spin-$3/2$ $\Delta$ baryons in AdS/QCD
Holographic AdS/QCD calculations of configurational entropy and complexity for Delta baryons yield Regge trajectories that organize known masses and predict additional resonances.
