Holographic nuclear physics with massive quarks

We discuss nuclear physics in the Witten-Sakai-Sugimoto model, limit of large number $N_c$ colors and 't Hooft coupling, with addition a finite mass for quarks. Individual baryons are described by classical solitons whose size is much smaller than typical distance bound states, thus we can use linear approximation to compute interaction potential provide natural description lightly states. find geometry states baryon numbers up B=8. The effect pion - induced quark via GMOR relation decrease binding energy nuclei respect massless case. density case particular choice cubic lattice, which critical chemical potential, at hadronic phase transition occurs.
