Recent attempts to find a “holographic dual” to QCD-like theories included a suggestion by Karsh et al (below referred to as KKSS) to incorporate confinement via a potential quadratically increasing into the 5-th direction of the AdS5 space. We show that the same conclusion follows from completely different line of arguments. If instantons are promoted into the 5d space by identifying the insta...

We review results of articles hep-th/0607056, hep-th/0610163 and 0704.1405 [hep-th]. Here we focus on establish the connection between the entropy functional formalism of Sen and the standard Euclidean formalism taken at zero temperature. We find that Sen’s entropy function f (on-shell) matches the zero temperature limit of the Euclidean action. Moreover, Sen’s near horizon angular and electric...
