Holographic Confinement/Deconfinement Transitions in Asymptotically Lifshitz Spacetimes

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

Under a Scherk-Schwarz compactification, the AdS soliton and black brane provide a dual description to a confinement/deconfinement phase transition. We extend this construction to asymptotically Lifshitz spacetimes. In particular, we show that there must be a phase transition between the soliton and black hole if the solutions exist. We also construct these solutions numerically and compute the phase diagram.
