Massive Pions, Anomalies and Baryons in Holographic QCD

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 phenomeno-logical implications in both the mesonic and baryonic sectors and compare with the observations. ar X i
