Abstract The semi-phenomenological improved holographic model for QCD is confronted with data of the pure glue, large- N c gauge theory. After fitting two phenomenological parameters in the potential, the model can reproduce in detail all thermodynamic functions at finite temperature. It also reproduces in detail all known spin-0 and spin-2 glueball observables at zero temperature and predicts the rest of the 0 + + and 2 + + towers. A similar two parameter fit in the CP-odd sector postdicts the correct second 0 + − glueball mass, and predicts the rest of the 0 + − tower.

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].”
Improved Holographic QCD (2010, methodology): “In IHQCD, the transition temperature in physical units was calculated to be Tc = 247 MeV [22], i.”
Holographic models for QCD in the Veneziano limit (2011, methodology): “The pure glue potential Vg has been determined from previous studies, [39] and we will use the same here.”
Thermal transport and drag force in improved holographic QCD (2009, methodology): “The first two columns display temperatures in the direct scheme, (in which the temperature of the holographic model matches the physical QGP temperature) and the corresponding ratio to the IHQCD critical temperature, that was fixed by YM lattice results at Tc = 247MeV [49].”
Holography and thermodynamics of 5D dilaton-gravity (2008, methodology): “While the detailed quantitative comparison between a specific model and the lattice results for thermal Yang-Mills will appear elsewhere [36], these general results are the main focus of this paper.”
