Abstract

The breaking of chiral symmetry in holographic light-front QCD is encoded in its longitudinal dynamics, with its chiral limit protected by the superconformal algebraic structure which governs its transverse dynamics. The scale in the longitudinal light-front Hamiltonian determines the confinement strength in this direction: It is also responsible for most of the light meson ground state mass consistent with the Gell-Mann-Oakes-Renner constraint. Longitudinal confinement and the breaking of chiral symmetry are found to be different manifestations of the same underlying dynamics as found in the 't Hooft large-${N}_{C}$ QCD ($1+1$) model.
