Isospectral transformations in softwall AdS/QCD allow tuning the rho meson's decay constant to its experimental value of 226 MeV, producing a predicted melting temperature of 157 MeV from spectral function computations at finite temperature and chemical potential.

abstract
We argue that deconfinement in AdS/QCD models occurs via a first order Hawking-Page type phase transition between a low temperature thermal AdS space and a high temperature black hole. Such a result is consistent with the expected temperature independence, to leading order in 1/N_c, of the meson spectrum and spatial Wilson loops below the deconfinement temperature. As a byproduct, we obtain model dependent deconfinement temperatures T_c in the hard and soft wall models of AdS/QCD. Our result for T_c in the soft wall model is close to a recent lattice prediction.
