Randall-Sundrum Model with a Dilaton Field at Finite Temperature

We find exact finite temperature solutions to $d=5$ Einstein-dilaton gravity with black branes and a Randall–Sundrum 3-brane. We show that there exists a unique generating superpotential for these models. The location of the black brane and the associated Hawking temperature depend on the value of the the 3-brane tension while other parameters are held fixed. The thermodynamics of these solutions are presented, from which we show that the entropy satisfies $S<\text{Vol}({\mathbb{R}}^3)\mathrm{/}4G_5$. We demonstrate that in a certain limit the gauge dual of this theory effectively reduces to $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM at finite temperature on $S^1\times {\mathbb{R}}^3$
