Hawking-Page transition in holographic massive gravity

TL;DR

This paper investigates how momentum dissipation affects the Hawking-Page transition in holographic models, revealing that increased dissipation lowers the deconfinement temperature, leading to a zero-temperature transition at strong dissipation.

Contribution

It introduces a holographic model incorporating momentum dissipation and analyzes its impact on the Hawking-Page transition, showing a novel zero-temperature deconfinement transition.

Findings

Deconfinement temperature decreases with increasing momentum dissipation.

Critical temperature reaches zero at strong dissipation.

Zero-temperature deconfinement transition occurs at high dissipation.

Abstract

We study the Hawking-Page transition in a holographic model of field theories with momentum dissipation. We find that the deconfinement temperature strictly decreases as momentum dissipation is increased. For sufficiently strong momentum dissipation, the critical temperature goes to zero, indicating a zero-temperature deconfinement transition in the dual field theory.
