Abstract

We show that the recent construction of Nf=1N_f=1 baryons on the η\eta^\prime domain wall can be understood as vortexes of the principal effective theory -- the Chern-Simons-Higgs theory -- on a 2+1-dimensional sheet. This theory has a series of vertex solutions, and the vortex with unit topological charge naturally spins Nc/2N_c/2, which coincides with the spin of the one-flavor baryon in QCD. Since the NcN_c scaling of the vortexes is the same as that of baryons, baryons can be regarded as vortexes. By virtue of the particle-vortex symmetry, the dual Zhang-Hansson-Kivelson theory indicates that the quark carries topological charge 1/Nc1/N_c and obeys fractional statistics. The generalization to arbitrary NfN_f is also discussed.
