Figure 1
The free energy density for various models compares to the free gas case. For the reason that all gravity dual theories are strongly coupled, we scale
to
as
, based on the
SYM result in Eq. (
1), where
can be replaced by any thermodynamical quantities, such as entropy, free energy, energy, or pressure. The MIT bag model [
11,
12] and the fuzzy bag model [
36] are also scaled to
by some comparison reasons; they can be easily transform back to their original form if needed. For clarity, we classify and tag our models by numbers. From the arrow direction marked in this figure, the thick lines are for the models (
), respectively. Line (Model) (1) denotes the hard-wall model with the Ricci flat horizon calculated in Eq. (
4), models considered in [
42,
43], and the MIT bag model itself. We neglect their divergent when
. Line (2) denotes the hard-wall model with the spherical horizon in Eq. (
5). Line (3) indicate the soft-wall model case, as Eq. (
6) shows. Line (4) indicate the ten-dimensional “AdS/QCD cousin” model in Eq. (
7). Line (5) denotes the fuzzy bag model result for comparison with Line (4). Line (6) is for the Gürsoy et al. model given in
51. Line (7) is calculated by the phenomenological model of
22, with a scalar potential
. The thin gray lines are the p4-action result [
117], in which the solid line indicates the pure glue case, the dashed line for the (
) flavor case, and the dashed-dotted line for the 3 flavor case. The points are calculated by the lattice methods with almost physical quark masses [
118], where small solid bullets for
case and solid squares for
case. The small dark region near the critical temperature is enlarged and shown in the top-right corner, where the trianglelike shape formed by some line segments shows clearly the multivalued nature of Line (6) and (7).
