We present finite temperature solutions describing N_c D5 branes wrapped on the S^2 of the resolved conifold in the presence of N_f flavor brane sources and their backreaction, i.e. N_f/N_c ~ 1. In these solutions the dilaton does not blow…

A holographic dual of a finite-temperature SU(N_c) gauge theory with a small number of flavours N_f << N_c typically contains D-branes in a black hole background. By considering the backreaction of the branes, we demonstrate that, to…
We study the thermodynamics and the small fluctuations of a linear dilaton black hole, in an S-dual version of the near-horizon limit of type IIB NS5 branes. The thermodynamical analysis shows that the black hole is in a Hagedorn phase,…

We consider $(1+1)$-dimensional dilatonic black hole with two horizons, canonical temperatures of which do not coincide. We show that the presence of quantum fields in such a background leads to a substantial backreaction on the metric: 2D…
