    Probing hadronic structure with holographic methods
    Abstract: Gravitational form factors encode how mass, spin and internal forces are distributed inside hadrons, and they remain challenging to access. We discuss how holographic models of QCD offer a complementary route and present results obtained in improved holographic QCD and V-QCD for the proton, the pion, rho and a_1 mesons and glueballs. For mesons, the form factors are parameter-free predictions of the model. We close by discussing where the holographic description can be expected to be reliable, and what spin-1 states show about the limits of the mechanical interpretation.
