The finite temperature physics of the pure glue sector in the improved holographic QCD model of arXiv:0707.1324 and arXiv:0707.1349 is addressed. 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 arXiv:0707.1349, we find T_c = 235 MeV. The temperature dependence of various thermodynamic quantities such as the pressure, entropy and speed of sound is calculated. The results show a good agreement with the corresponding lattice data.

  1. The Tachyon Chern-Simons action with a generic tachyon field, and baryons in V-QCD

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 6.5

    General Tachyon-Chern-Simons forms are built via Quillen superconnections for arbitrary tachyon matrices, and baryon number equals the superconnection instanton number even with massive, flavor-dependent quarks.

  2. A Chromomagnetic Mechanism for the Rotational Phase Transition of Gluonic Matter

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Using a rotation–magnetic holographic dictionary calibrated to lattice QCD, the paper predicts real rotation raises T_c and induces a negative total moment of inertia in pure gluonic matter near deconfinement.

  3. Flavour current correlators and the non-Abelian hydrodynamic approximation: the charged sector

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Isospin-imbalanced strongly coupled dense matter is shown, via holography, to obey non-Abelian hydrodynamic predictions for current correlators up to the chemical-potential scale, beyond the standard ω,k ≪ T regime.
