Description
From a UV-complete top-down holographic dual of large-N thermal QCD at finite gauge coupling, we discuss a variety of topics like obtaining a lattice-compatible T_c, conformal anomaly, lattice/PDG-compatible glueball/meson spectroscopy and glueball-to-meson decays, speed of sound, (lattice-compatible) shear viscosity(eta)-to-entropy density ratio's variation with temperature, bulk viscosity(zeta) and a zeta/eta bound inclusive of the non-conformal corrections appearing at NLO in N. Time permitting, I will discuss some Mathematical aspects relevant to the aforementioned results (G-structures, etc.).
