  Rotation affects the transition temperature between confined (hadronic) and
deconfined (quark-gluon plasma) phases of the strongly interacting matter
produced in non-central heavy ion collisions. A holographic description of this
effect was presented recently, considering an AdS black hole with cylindrical
symmetry in rotation. Here we extend this approach in order to analyse the more
realistic case of strongly interacting matter that, rather than living in a
cylindrical shell, spreads over a region around the rotational axis. In this
case, the confined and deconfined phases may coexist. The holographic
description of the plasma behaviour under rotation is shown to be consistent
with the concept of local temperature for rotating frames developed by Tolman
and Ehrenfest.
