Polyakov Loops in Strongly-Coupled Plasmas with Gravity Duals
Published 18 Jan 2010 in hep-th | (1001.3155v1)
Abstract: We study the properties of the Polyakov loop in strongly-coupled gauge plasmas that are conjectured to be dual to five dimensional theories of gravity coupled to a nontrivial single scalar field. We find a gravity dual that can describe the thermodynamic properties and also the expectation value of the Polyakov loop in the deconfined phase of quenched SU(3) QCD up to $3T_c$.
