Description
I will review a simple 5D model of QCD in which mesons are represented by bulk fields and baryons arise as topological solutions, in analogy to the original Skyrme model. Contrary to 4D Skyrmions, however, baryon physics is calculabe in this effective description, so it provides a valid setup for computing nucleon properties. This holographic model also describes pion masses and anomalies due to the addition of a 5D scalar and the Chern-Simons term.
