Holographic Nucleons

Abstract

Recent developments in holography have provided a new vista to the nucleon composition. A strongly coupled core nucleon tied with vector mesons emerge in line with the Cheshire cat principle. The cat is found to hide in the holographic direction. We discuss the one, two and many baryon problem in this context and point at the striking similarities between the holographic results and recent lattice simulations at strong coupling.
