Abstract We point out a new configuration in the Witten-Sakai-Sugimoto model, allowing baryons in the pointlike approximation to coexist with fundamental quarks. The resulting phase is a holographic realization of quarkyonic matter, which is predicted to occur in QCD at a large number of colors, and possibly plays a role in real-world QCD as well. We find that holographic quarkyonic matter is chirally symmetric and that, for large baryon chemical potentials, it is energetically preferred over pure nuclear matter and over pure quark matter. The zero-temperature transition from nuclear matter to the quarkyonic phase is of first order in the chiral limit and for a realistic pion mass. For pion masses far beyond the physical point we observe a quark-hadron continuity due to the presence of quarkyonic matter.

We study the quantum rotating soliton in the nonlinear σ model which is obtained by minimizing the total energies of rotating soliton. Existence of such a soliton is expected from the Derrick’s theorem even when the Skyrme term is absent because the rotational energy prevents the soliton from collapsing. The asymptotic behavior of the profile function is shown to be determined by the physical pion mass which appears in the PCAC relation in the nonlinear σ model. The energies of spin-1/2 and − 3/2 solitons are obtained numerically with the use of a simple trial function.
