Tensor Glueball Masses From Supergravity

Abstract: The strong coupling calculations of glueball masses based on the duality between supergravity and Yang-Mills theory are presented. Earlier work is extended to non-zero spin. Fluctuations in the gravitational metric lead to the 2++ state on the leading Pomeron trajectory. Comparisons of these results are made with glueballs computed in strong coupling lattice QCD and Monte Carlo simulations. Possible phenomenological similarities and discrepancies are discussed.
