Two Polyakov Loop Correlators from D5-branes at Finite Temperature

Abstract

We study two Polyakov loop correlators in large $N$ limit of $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory at finite temperature using the AdS-Schwarzschild black hole. In the case that one of the two loops is of the anti-symmetric representation, we use D5-branes to evaluate them. The phase structure of these correlators is also examined. A previous result, derived in hep-th/9803135 and hep-th/9803137, is realized as a limiting case.}
