  Considering the setup of arXiv:0902.1540 [hep-th] involving UV-complete
top-down type IIB holographic dual of large-N thermal QCD with a fluxed
resolved warped deformed conifold, in arXiv:1306.4339 [hep-th] delocalized type
IIA S(trominger)-Y(au)-Z(aslow)mirror of the type IIB background of
arXiv:0902.1540 [hep-th] was constructed via three T dualities along a special
Lagrangian $T^{3}$ fibered over a large base and then uplifted, locally, to the
11-dimensional ${\cal M}$-theory. Considering the aforementioned setup
arXiv:1306.4339 [hep-th] in the `MQGP' limit, in arXiv:1703.01306 [hep-th] we
obtained the masses of the $0^{++}, 0^{-+},0^{--}, 1^{++}, 2^{++}$ (`glueball')
states. We also obtained analytical expressions for the vector and scalar meson
spectra in arXiv:1707.02818 [hep-th]. We used WKB quantization conditions and
Neumann/Dirichlet boundary conditions at an IR cut-off (`$r_0$')/horizon radius
(`$r_h$') on the solutions to the equations of motion. We also discussed the
$r_h=0$-limits of all calculations which correspond to the thermal background.
Subsequently, in arXiv:1808.01182 [hep-th] we obtained the interaction
Lagrangian corresponding to exotic scalar glueball $\left(
G_{E}\right)-\rho/\pi$- meson. Assuming $M_G>2M_\rho$, we then computed
$\rho\rightarrow2\pi, G_E\rightarrow2\pi, 2\rho, \rho+2\pi$ decay widths as
well as the direct and indirect (mediated via $\rho$ mesons)
$G_E\rightarrow4\pi$ decays. In arXiv:2004.07259 [hep-th] we obtained ${\cal
O}\left(l_p^6\right)$ corrections to the MQGP background of arXiv:1306.4339
[hep-th] to study a top-down holographic dual of the thermal QCD-like theories
at intermediate 't Hooft coupling and in arXiv:2011.04660 [hep-th] we obtained
the values of the coupling constants of the ${\cal O}(p^4)$ $\chi$PT Lagrangian
in the chiral limit, inclusive of the ${\cal O}(R^4)$ corrections.
