Confinement and the AdS/CFT Correspondence

Abstract

We study the thermodynamics of the confined and unconfined phases of superconformal Yang-Mills in finite volume and at large N using the AdS/CFT correspondence. We discuss the necessary conditions for a smooth phase crossover and obtain an N-dependent curve for the phase boundary.
