Outline
1. Holographic meson spectroscopy - review on AdS/CFT with flavor (fundamentals) in the probe approximation (neglect backreaction of probe brane) - D3/D7 intersection, meson spectroscopy
2. Spectroscopy of spin-1/2 fluctuations in the D3/D7 system - fermionic action for the D7-brane - Dirac-like equations for spin-1/2 fluctuations
3. Beyond the probe approximation: - construction of the fully localized D3/D7 supergravity solution (including the backreaction of the D7-brane)

Leaving the quenched approximation…
Quenched approximation: lattice QCD: fermion determinant: , 10-20% error ) quark-loops in QCD correlation functions are ignored AdS/CFT: quenched = probe approximation: no backreaction of the “flavor'' (D7-)brane on the geometry
Beyond the quenched approximation:
lattice QCD: logarithm of the fermion determinant is nonlocal ) dramatic slow-down of the Monte Carlo algorithms Grassmann variables difficult to handle on computers ) difficult to go beyond the quenched approximation! AdS/CFT: Easier! Take into account the backreaction of the “flavor“ brane, ie. construct fully localized brane intersections

Susy-preserving ansatz by Polchinski and Grana (2001):

singularities: - curvature singularity at =0
- dilaton divergence at =L (! Landau pole L)

Solution for

Logarithmic tadpoles and one-loop vacuum amplitudes
Open string one-loop amplitude (to quadr. order in F): Di Vecchia et al. (e.g. hep-th/0503156)
gauge coupling and -angle:
Results: nonconformal theories lead to (harmless) logarithmic tadpoles in the SUGRA background which reproduce the correct perturbative gauge theory parameters
Summary and Outlook
Two extensions of holography with flavor
1) Spectra of fermionic operators: - computed the mass spectrum of spin-½ operators in the D3/D7 theory from the fermionic part of the D7-brane action
2) Beyond the probe approximation - fully localized D3/D7 solution - completed the solution by providing an analytic expression for the warp factor h(r, ) in terms of a convergent series - related the pathology of the D3/D7 background (dilaton divergence) to the Landau pole in the gauge theory
Outlook: - The techniques discussed in this talk should be useful for the holographic computation of baryon spectra including Witten‘s string theory realization of a baryon vertex
