Abstract
We construct a new solution of five-dimensional gravity coupled to a dilaton which encodes essential features of holographic QCD backgrounds dynamically. In particular, it implements linear confinement, i.e., the area-law behavior of the Wilson loop, by means of a dynamically deformed anti-de Sitter metric. The predicted square masses of the light-flavored natural-parity mesons and their excitations lie on linear trajectories of an approximately universal slope with respect to both radial and spin quantum numbers and are in satisfactory agreement with experimental data.
