Abstract

In this manuscript, a unified approach to hadron physics from the holographic point of view is described. After the introduction of a general setup for the meson–nucleon system based on the bottom-up approach of QCD (AdS/QCD), as an illustration, we specifically examine meson–nucleon couplings. This is an example of the notion we call “holographic unification” in hadron physics.
