Description
Using the prescriptions of the AdS/CFT correpondence it is possible to
build Extra Dimensional models that describe low energy hadrons. I will
review a simple 5D model of QCD in which mesons are represented by bulk
fields and baryons arise as solitons, in analogy to the original Skyrme
model. Contrary to 4D Skyrmions, however, baryon physics is calculable in
this effective description, so it provides a useful framework 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.
