We construct BPS-exact solutions of the worldvolume Born-Infeld plus WZW action of a D5-brane in the background of N D3-branes. The non-trivial background metric and RR five-form field strength play a crucial role in the solution. When a D5-brane is dragged across a stack of N D3-branes a bundle of N fundamental strings joining the two types of branes is created, as in the Hanany-Witten effect. Our solutions give a detailed description of this bundle in terms of a D5-brane wrapped on a sphere. We discuss extensions of these solutions which have an interpretation in terms of gauge theory multi-quark states via the AdS/CFT correspondence.

  1. Fortuity and Complexity in a Simple Quark Model

    hep-th 2026-05 conditional novelty 7.0

    In a toy qubit model of quarks, BRST cohomology designates baryons as fortuitous and mesons as monotone, with the former displaying super-exponential complexity and the latter power-law complexity in the Veneziano limit.

  2. Holographic Krylov Complexity for Charged, Composite and Extended Probes

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Holographic Krylov complexity for charged composite and extended probes retains universal leading large-time growth but acquires structure-dependent subleading corrections.
