Abstract
Abstract We study transport properties of the finite temperature Sakai–Sugimoto model. The model represents a holographic dual to ( 4 + 1 ) -dimensional supersymmetric SU ( N c ) gauge theory compactified on a circle with anti-periodic boundary conditions for fermions, coupled to N f left-handed quarks and N f right-handed quarks localized at different points on the compact circle. We analytically compute the speed of sound and the sound wave attenuation in the quenched approximation. Since confinement/deconfinement (and the chiral symmetry restoration) phase transitions are first order in this model, we do not see any signature of these phase transitions in the transport properties.
