Abstract
We study meson spectrum obtained from massive open string modes in a holographic dual of QCD constructed on the basis of a D4/D8-brane configuration in type IIA string theory. The spectrum includes mesons with spin higher than one. Taking into account the effect of curved background perturbatively, we obtain a mass formula for these mesons, which exhibits the linear Regge behavior at the leading order with subleading non-linear corrections. We argue that the string spectrum captures some features of the observed meson spectrum. For example, a_2(1320), b_1(1235), \pi(1300), a_0(1450), etc., are identified as the first excited massive open string states and \rho_3(1690), \pi_2(1670), etc., are identified as the second excited states.

Massive pions, anomalies and baryons in holographic QCD

TL;DR: In this article, a holographic model of QCD, obtained by a very simple modification of the original construction, which describes at the same time the pion mass, the QCD anomalies and the baryons as topological solitons, is presented.

Infrared Dynamics of a Large N QCD Model, the Massless String Sector and Mesonic Spectra

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the supergravity model to predict the mesonic spectra in the dual type IIA side of a large N QCD and showed that there are points in the landscape where the spectra can be considerably improved over the existing results.
