  Recent lattice simulation has uncovered many interesting properties of SU(N)
gauge theory at finite temperature. Especially, above the deconfinement phase
transition all the thermodynamics quantities acquire significant quadratic
contributions in inverse temperature. Such a term is also found to dominate the
logarithmic of the renormalized Polyakov loop. Using the Hawking-Page
transition in Anti-de Sitter space as an example, we show how such
contributions can be naturally generated in the holographic approach.
