Title: Is there a holographic dual for the LHC plasma?

Abstract:
Holography is non-trivial:  In order for a field theory to be dual to some gravitational system, it has to satisfy some consistency conditions.  We explain one of such conditions with some examples, with focus on the holographic dual of the RHIC and LHC plasma --- in the latter case, it would seem that no consistent gravitational dual exists.
