This work highlights a significant advancement in understanding both confinement and chiral symmetry in QCD.

Abstract

Being simultaneously a bound state and a pseudo-Goldstone boson of chiral symmetry breaking, the pion is an ideal probe of the intertwined phenomena of confinement and chiral symmetry breaking in QCD. Here, we compute the low energy pion observables with light-front holography, taking into account longitudinal dynamics using an ansatz that explores the strong degeneracy of the `t Hooft and Li-Vary models as well as their underlying connection in AdS₃ as recently noted by Vegh.
