Resolved warped deformed conifolds and large-N thermal QCD via black M3-branes

Abstract

We discuss thermodynamical stability of the type IIB background of 3 and its local Mtheory uplift, evaluation of electrical conductivity, charge susceptibility, diffusion constant, the Einstein relation relating the three, obtaining the QCD deconfinement temperature compatible with lattice data and speed of sound, in the 'MQGP' limit of 6 involving gs < ∼ 1, which we expect will shed light on strongly coupled thermal systems (such as the sQGP).
