Abstract

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 improved holographic QCD of [U. Gursoy and E. Kiritsis, J. High Energy Phys. 02 (2008) 032] [U. Gursoy, E. Kiritsis, and F. Nitti, J. High Energy Phys. 02 (2008) 019], we find

. The temperature dependence of various thermodynamic quantities such as the pressure, entropy, and speed of sound is calculated. The results are in agreement with the corresponding lattice data.
