Deconfinement and gluon plasma dynamics in improved holographic QCD.
The thermodynamics of 5D dilaton gravity duals to confining gauge theories is analyzed. We show that they exhibit a first order Hawking-Page type phase transition. In the explicit background of improved holographic QCD of [U. Gursoy and E. Kiritsis, J. High Energy Phys. 02 (2008) 03210.1088/1126-6708/2008/02/032] [U. Gursoy, E. Kiritsis, and F. Nitti, J.

متن کاملNon critical holographic models of the thermal phases of QCD
We analyze the thermal phases of a non critical holographic model of QCD. The model is based on a six dimensional background of Nc non extremal D4 branes wrapping a spacial circle of radius R and the compactified Euclidean time direction of radius β = 1/T . We place in this background stacks of Nf D4 and anti-D4 flavor probe branes with a separation distance L at large radial direction. The ana...
متن کاملExploring improved holographic theories for QCD: Part I
Various holographic approaches to QCD in five dimensions are explored using input both from the putative non-critical string theory as well as QCD. It is argued that a gravity theory in five dimensions coupled to a dilaton and an axion may capture the important qualitative features of pure QCD. A part of the higher α′-corrections are resummed into a dilaton potential. The potential is shown to ...
متن کاملExploring improved holographic theories for QCD: Part II
This paper is a continuation of ArXiv:0707.1324 where improved holographic theories for QCD were set up and explored. Here, the IR confining geometries are classified and analyzed. They all end in a “good” (repulsive) singularity in the IR. The glueball spectra are gapped and discrete, and they favorably compare to the lattice data. Quite generally, confinement and discrete spectra imply each o...
متن کاملComparing the drag force on heavy quarks in N = 4 super-Yang-Mills theory and QCD
Computations of the drag force on a heavy quark moving through a thermal state of strongly coupled N = 4 super-Yang-Mills theory have appeared recently [1, 2, 3]. I compare the strength of this effect between N = 4 gauge theory and QCD, using the static force between external quarks to normalize the ’t Hooft coupling. Comparing N = 4 and QCD at fixed energy density then leads to a relaxation ti...
