    Description
I will present new non-perturbative results about the meson spectrum and the low-energy constants of QCD in the 't Hooft large-$N$ limit, $N \to \infty$ with $N_{\rm f}/N \to 0$. These are obtained from lattice Monte Carlo simulations of the Twisted Eguchi-Kawai (TEK) model up to $N=841$.
More precisely, I will discuss the determination of radial Regge trajectories in the $\pi$ and $\rho$ channels; and the computation of the coefficients of the $1/N$ expansion of the chiral condensate, of the pion decay constant, and of the NLO coupling $\bar{\ell}_4$ up to $O(1/N^3)$ from the combination of TEK and standard finite-$N$ results.
