Phase transitions in large N(c) heavy quark potentials
arXiv:0810.4018 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysbps.2009.07.054
Abstract
We describe phase transitions in the heavy quark potential in planar gauge theories having wrapped D5-brane string duals. A new phase transition, previously unnoticed in these models, is driven by the source of a large dimension operator. Another transition, which has already been described in a previous paper, is driven by the presence of light dynamical flavors. Both transitions connect a Coulomb-like phase to a confining linear phase.
