摘要
We compute Euclidean coordinate space correlation functions in a holographic model of QCD. We concentrate, in particular, on channels that are related to the U(1)(A) problem, the flavor-singlet axial vector, pseudoscalar meson, and pseudoscalar glueball (topological charge) correlator. We find that even a very simple holographic model defined on a slice of five-dimensional anti-de Sitter space provides a qualitatively correct description of QCD correlation functions. We study the role of anomaly terms, and show that both Euclidean positivity and low energy theorems based on the axial anomaly relation are correctly implemented. We compare the results with expectations from an instanton model of the QCD vacuum.
