Description
I will provide general advances on the Hagedorn temperature of planar, strongly coupled confining gauge theories holographically dual to type II superstring models on curved backgrounds with Ramond-Ramond and Kalb-Ramond fluxes and non-trivial dilaton. The final result will be determined up to a certain order in an expansion in the string length and relies on two complementary approaches: the semiclassical quantization of string configurations winding around the compact Euclidean time direction and the perturbative solution to the equations of motion for the thermal scalar field corresponding to the lightest mode of the winding string.
