Abstract

We review the recently found map that takes any static and neutral
Kaluza‐Klein black hole, i.e.
any static and neutral black hole on Minkowski‐space times a circle
ℳ︁__^d^__ × S^1^, and maps it to a corresponding solution
for
a non‐ and near‐extremal brane on a circle.
This gives a precise connection between phases of Kaluza‐Klein
black holes and the thermodynamic behavior of the
non‐gravitational theories dual to near‐extremal branes on a circle. In
particular, for the thermodynamics of strongly‐coupled
supersymmetric Yang‐Mills theories on a circle we predict the
existence of a new non‐uniform phase and find new information
about the localized phase. We also find evidence for the existence
of a new stable phase of (2,0)
Little String Theory in the canonical ensemble
for temperatures above its Hagedorn temperature.
