Abstract

We consider a holographic model of QCD from string theory, a la Sakai and Sugimoto, and study baryons. In this model, mesons are collectively realized as a five-dimensional $U(N_F)=U(1)\times SU(N_F) $Y an g - M i l l s f i e l d an d ba r y o n s a r ec l a ss i c a l l y i d e n t i f i e d a s$ SU(N_F) $so l i t o n s w i t ha u ni tP o n t r y a g inn u mb er an d$ N_c $e l ec t r i cc ha r g es .

We further find that all electromagnetic interactions, as inferred from the same effective action via a holographic prescription, are mediated by an infinite tower of vector mesons, rendering the baryon electromagnetic form factors completely vector-dominated as well. We estimate nucleon-meson couplings and also the anomalous magnetic moments, which compare well with nature.

65pages, 3 figures, vector mesons and axial-vector mesons are now canonically normalized (comparisons with data and conclusions unaffected)
