Dynamics of Baryons from String Theory and Vector Dominance
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)× SU(N_F)Yang−Millsfieldandbaryonsareclassicallyidentifiedas
N_c expansion. 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.
