Contribution
It provides a detailed classification of black holes on the conifold with fluxes and explores their phase structure in relation to multiple physical scales.
Findings
Identification of three distinct phase transition patterns.
Recovery of known Klebanov-Tseytlin and Klebanov-Strassler solutions in the decompactification limit.
Elucidation of the interplay between confinement, deconfinement, and chiral symmetry breaking.
Abstract
We present a comprehensive analysis of the black holes on warped deformed conifold with fluxes in Type IIB supergravity. These black holes realize the holographic dual to thermal states of the supersymmetric cascading gauge theory of Klebanov et.al on round . There are three distinct mass scales in the theory: the strong coupling scale of the cascading gauge theory, the compactification scale (related to the radius ) and the temperature of a thermal state. Depending on and , there is an intricate pattern of confinement/deconfinement (Hawking-Page) and the chiral symmetry breaking phase transitions. In the decompactification limit, , , we recover the Klebanov-Tseytlin and the Klebanov-Strassler black branes.
