AdS/CFT Correspondence and QCD with Quarks in Fundamental Representations

TL;DR

This paper explores a novel approach using AdS/CFT correspondence and asymmetric orbifolds to model non-supersymmetric QCD with quarks in fundamental representations, advancing theoretical understanding of strong interactions.

Contribution

It introduces a new method to construct non-supersymmetric QCD models with fundamental quarks via asymmetric orbifolds within the AdS/CFT framework.

Findings

Successfully models QCD with four fundamental quark flavors

Demonstrates a non-supersymmetric orbifold construction

Provides a framework for further QCD studies

Abstract

The most straightforward use of AdS/CFT correspondence gives versions of QCD where quarks are in adjoint representations. Using an asymmetric orbifold approach we obtain nonsupersymmetric QCD with four quark flavors in fundamental representations of color.
