The QCD trace anomaly at strong coupling from M-theory

Abstract Obtaining a lattice-consistent result for the temperature dependence of the QCD conformal anomaly from a top-down M-theory dual (valid) for all temperatures – both, $$T<T_c$$ T<Tc and $$T>T_c$$ T>Tc – of thermal QCD at intermediate gauge coupling, has been missing in the literat...
