In those models, the temperature of the system in the lab typically corresponds to the Hawking temperature of the black hole in the higher dimensional gravitational system. (That is where my knowledge of the subject stops.) For thos who seek technical details, Hartnoll has a short summary (2009) of the formalism on which the 2010…</p><p><a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/0909.3553/">Paper and discussion history</a>.
