We consider a general framework to Study holographically the dynamics of fundamental quarks in a confining gauge theory. Flavors are introduced by placing a set of (coincident) branes antibranes on a background dual to a confining color theory. The spectrum contains an open string tachyon and its condensation describes the U (N-f)(L) x U (N-f)(R) -> U(N-f)(V) symmetry breaking. By studying worldvolume gauge transformations of the flavor brane action, we obtain the QCD global anomalies and an IR condition that allows to fix the quark condensate in terms of the quark mass. We find the expected N-f(2) Goldstone bosons (for m(q) = 0), the Gell-Mann-Oakes-Renner relation (for m(q) small) and the eta' mass. Remarkably, the linear confinement behavior for the masses of highly excited spin-1 mesons, m(n)(2) similar to n is naturally reproduced. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
