Holography at QCD-$T_{\mathrm{c}}$

Abstract

Within an extended soft wall model, we study the temperature dependence of the lowest vector meson states. Scales are adjusted by using as input the $\rho$ meson mass in vacuum and the velocity of sound from lattice QCD which displays a minimum at $T_{\mathrm{c}}$. The melting of the $\rho$ meson occurs at temperatures $\mathcal{O}(T_{\mathrm{c}})$.
