This paper explores properties of baryons and finite density baryonic matter in an artificial world in which Nc, the number of colors, is large and the quarks of all species are degenerate and much larger than {\Lambda}_QCD. It has long…
We consider a holographic model of QCD, obtained by a very simple modification of the original construction, which describes at the same time the pion mass, the QCD anomalies and the baryons as topological solitons. We study in detail its…
We review baryons in the D4-D8 holographic model of low energy QCD, with the large $N_c$ and the large 't Hooft coupling limit. The baryon is identified with a bulk soliton of a unit Pontryagin number, which from the four-dimensional…
The large Nc limit provides a good phenomenology of meson spectra and interactions. I discuss some problems with applying the large Nc approximation to the description of baryons, and point out a number of apparent paradoxes and…
In the large $N_c$ limit of QCD, baryons can be modeled as solitons, for instance, as Skyrmions. This modeling has been justified by Witten's demonstration that all properties of baryons and mesons scale with $N_c^{-1/2}$ in the same way as…
In the large $N_c$ limit, one can describe normal heavy baryons $Qqq$ and heavy pentaquarks $\bar Qqqqq$ as bound states of heavy mesons to chiral (anti)solitons. In this picture, the strong and electromagnetic decay parameters of these…
Mesons and baryons are considered in soft-wall holographic approach based on the correspondence of string theory in AdS space and conformal field theory in physical space-time. The model generates Regge trajectories linear in n and J (L)…
The status of exotic baryons is analyzed in the limit of a large number of colors Nc. Several toy models reproducing the main features of the large-Nc QCD are studied in order to clarify the recent controversy concerning the consistency of…
Baryonic matter is notoriously difficult to deal with in the large-N limit, as baryons become operators of very large dimension with N fields in the fundamental representation. This issue is also present in gauge/gravity duals as baryons…
We investigate the behavior of light baryon masses in three inequivalent large-$N_c$ limits: 't~Hooft, QCD$_{{\rm AS}}$ and Corrigan-Ramond. Our framework is a constituent quark model with relativistic-type kinetic energy, stringlike…
In this talk, we briefly review a series of recent works on singly heavy baryons, based on a pion mean-field approach. In the limit of the infinitely heavy quark mass, heavy baryons are governed mainly by the light degress of freedom.…
We argue that in the large N_c HQET, the masses of the s-wave low-spin heavy baryons equal to the heavy quark mass plus proton mass approximately. To the subleading order, the heavy baryon mass 1/N_c expansion not only has the same form,…
The baryon magnetic and transition magnetic moments are computed in heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory in the large-N_c limit, where N_c is the number of colors. One-loop nonanalytic corrections of orders m_q^{1/2} and m_q ln m_q are…
Exotic baryons have been predicted in the context of the chiral soliton model. These states have been identified with strangeness +1 resonances reported in a number of experiments. In this talk it is pointed out that the technique used to…
We extend the $D4$-$D8$ holographic construction to include three chiral and one heavy flavor, to describe heavy-light baryons with strangeness and their exotics. At strong coupling, the heavy meson always binds to the bulk instanton in the…
A previous work establishing a connection between a quark model, with relativistic kinematics and a $Y$-confinement plus one gluon exchange, and the $1/N_c$ expansion mass formula is extended to strange baryons. Both methods predict values…
Excited baryons may be analyzed in the 1/N_c expansion as true resonances in scattering amplitudes. The key idea making this program possible is a generalization of methods originally applied to chiral soliton models in the 1980's. One…
We suggest a new point of view according to which baryon resonances can be understood as collective excitations about intrinsic one-quark excitations in a mean field of definite symmetry. This approach is justified in the limit of large…
Employing the asymptotic instanton solution in an arbitrary background of a set of holographic QCD models, we show that baryon form factors have a precise large-distance behaviour regardless of the background. The dependence coincides with…
We review in this paper a series of recent works on properties of singly heavy baryons, based on a pion mean-field approach. In the limit of an infinitely heavy-quark mass, the heavy quark inside a heavy baryon can be regarded as a static…
