Abstract We present a comprehensive analysis of the black holes on warped deformed conifold with fluxes in Type IIB supergravity. These black holes realize the holographic dual to thermal states of the $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 1 supersymmetric SU(N) × SU(N + M) cascading gauge theory of Klebanov et al. [1, 2] on round S3. There are three distinct mass scales in the theory: the strong coupling scale Λ of the cascading gauge theory, the compactification scale μ = 1/L3 (related to the S3 radius L3) and the temperature T of a thermal state. Depending on Λ, μ and T, there is an intricate pattern of confinement/deconfinement (Hawking-Page) and the chiral symmetry breaking phase transitions. In the S3 → ℝ3 decompactification limit, i.e., μ → 0, we recover the Klebanov-Tseytlin [3] and the Klebanov-Strassler [4] black branes.

In this paper, we examine the implications of the ongoing black holes versus firewalls debate for the thermo-field dynamics of black holes by analyzing a conformal field theory (CFT) in a thermal state in the context of anti-de Sitter/CFT. We argue that the thermo-field doubled copy of the thermal CFT should be thought of not as a fictitious system, but as the image of the CFT in the heat bath. In case of strong coupling between the CFT and the heat bath, this image allows for free infall through the horizon and the system is described by a black hole. Conversely, firewalls are the appropriate dual description in case of weak interaction of the CFT with its heat bath.
