Partial deconfinement: a brief overview
Abstract
The confinement/deconfinement transition in gauge theory plays important roles in physics, including the description of thermal phase transitions in the dual gravitational theory. Partial deconfinement implies an intermediate phase in which color degrees of freedom split into the confined and deconfined sectors. The partially-deconfined phase is dual to the small black hole that lies between the large black hole and graviton gas. Better understandings of partial deconfinement may provide us with a clue how gravity emerges from the field theory degrees of freedom. In this article, we briefly review the basic properties of partial deconfinement and discuss applications.
