Some Aspects of Three-Quark Potentials

Abstract

We analytically evaluate the expectation value of a baryonic Wilson loop in a holographic model of an SU(3) pure gauge theory. We then discuss three aspects of a static three-quark potential: an aspect of universality which concerns properties independent of a geometric configuration of quarks; a heavy diquark structure; and a relation between the three and two-quark potentials.
