Abstract

Thermodynamics of strongly interacting matter near critical end point are investigated in a holographic QCD model, which could describe the QCD phase diagram in TμT-\mu plane qualitatively. Critical exponents along different axis (α,β,γ,δ\alpha,\beta,\gamma,\delta) are extracted numerically. It is given that α0,β0.54,γ1.04,δ3.0\alpha\approx 0, \beta\approx 0.54, \gamma \approx 1.04, \delta \approx 3.0, the same as 3D Ising mean-field approximation and previous holographic QCD model calculations. We also discuss the possibilities to go beyond mean field approximation by including the full back-reaction of chiral dynamics in the holographic framework.
