contents Einsteins gravity with a cosmological constant $Λ$ in four dimensions can be reformulated as a $λϕ^4$ theory characterized solely by the dimensionless coupling $λ\propto G_N Λ$ ($G_N$ being Newton's constant). The quantum triviality of this theory drives $λ\to 0$, and a deviation from this behavior could be generated by matter couplings. Here, we study the significance of this conformal symmetry and its breaking in modeling non-perturbative QCD. The hadron spectra and correlation functions are studied holographically in an $AdS_5$ geometry with induced cosmological constants on four-dimensional hypersurface. Our analysis shows that the experimentally measured spectra of the $ρ$ and $a_1$ mesons, including their excitations and decay constants, favour a non-vanishing induced cosmological constant in both hard-wall and soft-wall models. Although this behavior is not as sharp in the soft-wall model as in the hard-wall model, it remains consistent. Furthermore, we show that the correction to the Gell-Mann-Oakes-Renner relation has an inverse dependence on the induced cosmological constant, underscoring its significance in holographic descriptions of low-energy QCD.
