A continuous one-parameter family of holographic geometries interpolates between confining and deconfined phases, with string tension and chiral condensate vanishing smoothly at the black hole endpoint.

abstract
Using a proposal of Maldacena we compute in the framework of the supergravity description of N coincident D3 branes the energy of a quark anti-quark pair in the large N limit of U(N) N=4 SYM in four dimensions at finite temperature.

Holographic analysis of Romans supergravity solutions with Abelian magnetic flux yields a family of confining 4D duals featuring a flux-driven first-order deconfinement transition and two parametrically light, nearly degenerate scalar bound states near the transition.
