Abstract

We use a holographic principle to study the low-energy spectrum of walking technicolor models. In particular, we predict the masses of the axial-vectors as well as the decay constants of vectors and axial-vectors as functions of the mass of the techni-\ensuremathρ. Given that there are very few nonperturbative techniques to study strongly coupled theories, using holography might provide us with insight into how to constrain the parameters of the low-energy effective action of walking technicolor models. We also compare our results with findings from other setups.
