Baryons and Vector Dominance in Holographic Dual QCD

Understand

The infinite tower of vector mesons encoded in holographic dual QCD bring drastic changes to the soliton structure of the nucleon.

• The nucleon is given by a point-like instanton in 5D surrounded by a vector meson cloud with the vector dominance restored by the infinite tower.
• I discuss the possible relevance of this structure in hot and dense hadronic matter.
