We provide a review to holographic models based on Einstein-dilaton gravity with a potential in five dimensions. Such theories, for a judicious choice of potential are very close to the physics of large-N YM theory both at zero and finite temperature. The zero temperature glueball spectra as well as their finite temperature thermodynamic functions compare well with lattice data. The model can be used to calculate transport coefficients, like bulk viscosity, the drag force and jet quenching parameters, relevant for the physics of the Quark–Gluon Plasma.

Holographic renormalization of general dilaton-axion gravity (2011, background): “The semi-phenomenological holographic model dual to large Nc Yang-Mills theory put forward in [10] (see [11] for an extensive review) is based on the five dimensional twoderivative (Euclidean) bosonic supergravity action”
A holographic critical point (2010, background): “It was shown in [7, 8] that simple gravitational theories in five dimensions are capable of producing black holes which approximately reproduce the equation of state of QCD, including the crossover, at vanishing chemical potential; see also [9, 10, 11, 12, 13] and the review [14].”
Holographic models for QCD in the Veneziano limit (2011, methodology): “More sophisticated models accounted for the running of the YM coupling constant, incorporating therefore the dilaton into the gravitational action, [36, 37].”
